Artery Collateral Ulnar Superior

The elbow collateral artery is an artery that is found in the arm and provides blood supply to the muscles and tissues that are near the elbow. It is a branch of the ulnar artery and passes through the cubital fossa on the anterior surface of the forearm.

The superior ulnar collateral artery (or simply collateral artery) is one of three types of collateral arteries in the arm. It passes through the front of the forearm and provides blood supply to the elbow joint, muscles of the forearm and hand.

This artery is a branch of the brachial artery and runs along the inner surface of the arm. It starts from the humerus and passes through the forearm, where it divides into two branches: medial and lateral.

The medial branch of the superior ulnar collateral artery runs along the medial side of the forearm and ends at the elbow joint. It provides blood supply to the medial part of the elbow and the muscles of the forearm. The lateral branch runs along the lateral side of the forearm and also ends at the elbow joint, supplying the lateral aspect of the elbow.

In general, the superior ulnar collateral artery plays an important role in the blood supply to the arm and elbow joint. Damage to it can lead to disruption of blood supply to muscles, tissues and joints, which can lead to serious health consequences. Therefore, it is important to know the anatomy and function of this artery to prevent possible injury and ensure normal functioning of the arm.



Arteries of the limb: Arterial blood enters the joint through three arteries: two subosseous and one ulnar. When the supracondylar artery is damaged, collateral blood flow to the joint occurs through the arterial lateral branch of the subclavian artery. The venule then branches into the deep palmar and radial. Under the skin, these veins pass superficially and anastomose with each other.

Rupture of the bone bridges leads to congruent and antrum displacement of the articular ends. Previously, the transverse articular diameter was narrowed by a meniscus tear, and the transverse narrowing of the deforming edema of the osteochondral articular surface led to an embarrassing displacement of the spherical head of the distal metaepiphysis of the humerus. Congruent displacement leads to antrum bodies, severe osteoarthritis in the clavicular and scapular joints of the humerus
