O ligamento colateral ulnar (LCU) , está localizado na parte interna do cotovelo. Ele conecta o osso do braço (úmero) a um osso do antebraço (ulna).
É uma grossa faixa triangular localizada no cotovelo. Todas as três faixas servem para limitar o estresse na articulação.

Don’t massage an injured #Elbow

The elbow is a quirky joint & sensitive to injury/immobilisation/ insult & responds by throwing extra new bone called heterotopic ossification(where normally bone shudnt be present)There are many theories explaining why it happens
One practice we see is patients approaching native bone setters for their injuries who massage the joint which leads to exuberant new bone & stiffness. Even at home people apply oil massage when there is injury which is not good for the joint
A recent case where patient had injury , underwent surgery & also underwent massage instead of physio who came with this massive heterotopic ossification . Took a long time to chip off all that new bone !
