Abstract
Isometric ligaments within the AMCL do not originate from a narrow area; rather, they originate from a broader area that extends more medially in the coronal plane than previously thought, which explains how the AMCL reconciles isometricity and robustness. The proximal and distal ligaments act as checkreins that work only at the limits of elbow motion.
