The elbow joint is happening between three bones. The first one is a large bone that defines the upper arm known as the humerus. Laterally in this joint you find another bone called the radius. And the third bone is a bone located medially on the forearm, the ulna.

The elbow joint is a compound synovial joint. What do we mean by compound joint? Well, it means that the elbow joint is a large working structure that is made up of several smaller moving parts, or separate articulations. A synovial joint, otherwise known as a diarthrosis, is the most flexible type of joint, seeing as it achieves its range of movement at the point of contact between the articulating bones.
