It articulates with the capitulum, but does it also articulate with the trochlea? The image in Netter (plate 407) seems to show just the one point, but I'm not sure.
And about the trochlea. That's Greek for "pulley." I understand how it's a pulley for the superior oblique m., but how does it function as one in the elbow?
