Load distribution between the radius and ulna through the forearm interosseous membrane: Effects of elbow flexion and Varus–Valgus alignment
Within the tested range, varus-valgus alignment, rather than elbow flexion angle, primarily determines the magnitude of interosseous membrane -mediated load transfer. These findings provide biomechanical insight relevant to understanding injury mechanisms and may inform alignment considerations during rehabilitation or immobilization.
