In a healthy elbow joint, the surfaces at the end of the humerus, ulna and radius ( the bones the end of which form the elbow hinge, are very smooth and covered with a strong protective tissue called cartilage. Arthritis can result from traumatic damage to the bone resulting in loss or damage to cartilage, or it can be the result of inflammation as is the case with Rheumatoid arthritis where cartilage is destroyed as the result of the body's own misguided immune reaction. When this happens the three bones rub directly together. This results in further damage to the bones surfaces which then become painful.
