The radiocapitellar ligament is a reinforcement of the anterior elbow capsule at the radiocapitellar joint, connecting the radial neck region to the anterior capitellum and reinforcing the lateral anterior capsule.
Provides anterior lateral elbow stability, reinforces the anterior capsule at the radiocapitellar articulation, and contributes to congruity maintenance of the radiocapitellar joint.
Radiocapitellar ligament injury accompanies radial head fractures and elbow dislocations. Its disruption contributes to radiocapitellar instability that may require radial head arthroplasty for stability restoration after radial head excision in complex elbow fracture-dislocations.
Anterior capsular and radiocapitellar ligament disruption in elbow dislocation contributing to instability requiring ligament repair or reconstruction during fixation of associated fractures.
