The bone in the forearm on the side toward the thumb.
The shorter and outer of the two bones in the forearm between the elbow and the wrist.
Outer and shorter of the two forearm bones, which partially revolves around the ulna (the other lower-arm bone); the radius articulates with the humerus (upper arm bone) at the elbow and with the ulna and carpal bones at the wrist.
Bone of the lateral forearm that is aligned with the thumb.
The outer and shorter bone of the forearm (compare ulna). It partially revolves ab>out the ulna, permitting pronation and supination of the hand. The head of the radius articulates with the humerus. The lower end articulates both with the scaphoid and lunate bones of the carpus (wrist) and with the ulna (via the ulnar notch on the side of the bone).
A line extending from a circle’s center point to its circumference.
Smaller bone in the forearm (lower arm) on the same side as the thumb.
The lesser in length and size of the two elongated bones situated in the forearm.
The forearm’s shorter of the two elongated bones is known as the radius, with the other being the ulna. Positioned on the thumb side of the arm, the radius connects with the humerus (the upper arm bone) at the elbow and the carpal bones (upper wrist bones) at the wrist.
The wrist experiences the majority of strain on the radius, making it susceptible to fractures. On occasion, a fall or impact can lead to dislocation of the radius from the elbow joint, accompanied by an ulna fracture—this condition is referred to as Monteggia’s fracture.
