The anconeus is a small triangular muscle that originates just below the elbow joint at the lateral condyle of the humerus and extends a fourth of the way down the forearm to insert in the olecranon process and back of the ulna. It is located on the outer back corner of the elbow. The anconeus is innervated by the radial nerve and supplied by the radial artery. It extends and stabilizes the elbow joint. Research Anconeus
