Upper Limbs Musculoskeletal system

Upper limb (Ligaments and bones), anterior viewUpper limb (Ligaments and bones), lateral viewUpper limb (Ligaments and bones), posterior viewUpper limb (Ligaments and bones), medial view

The bones of the upper limb with the ligaments of the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand joints.

The shoulder joint is reinforced by the glenohumeral and coracohumeral ligaments and the glenoid labrum. The elbow joint is stabilised by the ulnar and radial collateral ligaments and the annular ligament of the radius, and the wrist by the palmar and dorsal radiocarpal ligaments.
