Ligaments are essential for providing your elbow joint with stability while still allowing for a motion to occur. These ligaments provide strength and support to the elbow joint along with the surrounding muscles or your arm and forearm. If an injury occurs to the elbow joint, any one of these ligaments may be injured.
