Which LI point is at the elbow, midway between Chǐzé LI-5 and the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, at the lateral end of the transverse cubital crease?

Which LI point is at the elbow, midway between Chǐzé LI-5 and the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, at the lateral end of the transverse cubital crease?

• A. LI-12
• B. LI-11
• C. LI-10
• D. LI-13

Answer: (B)

The elbow point on the Large Intestine channel is defined by a clear crease landmark. The spot that sits in the depression at the lateral end of the transverse cubital crease, about halfway between the wrist point (LI-5) and the outer elbow bone (the lateral epicondyle), is LI-11. This location is a classic reference for the elbow region and is commonly used for issues affecting the elbow and surrounding areas. The other points lie elsewhere along the arm—either higher up on the upper arm or lower down on the forearm—and do not match the described elbow crease landmark. Thus, the elbow location described corresponds to LI-11.
