Everything about The Anconeus Muscle totally explained
The
anconeus muscle is a small
muscle on the posterior aspect of the
elbow joint.
Some consider anconeus to be a continuation of the
triceps brachii muscle. Some sources consider it to be part of the
posterior compartment of the arm, while others consider it part of the
posterior compartment of the forearm.
The Anconeus muscle can easily be palpated just lateral to the olecranon process of the ulna.
Its function is trivial in humans. It assists in extension of the elbow, where the triceps brachii is the principal agonist. It also prevents the elbow joint capsule being pinched in the
olecranon fossa during extension of the elbow. Anconeus also abducts the ulna and stabilizes the elbow joint.
