Study Notes
Radius Bone Anatomy
- Located lateral to the ulna
- Homologous to the tibia
-
Proximal End:
- Rounded, cylindrical head
- Articulates with the capitulum of the humerus (proximally) and radial notch of the ulna (medially)
- Short neck connects the head to the shaft
- Prominent radial tuberosity for muscle attachment
-
Shaft:
- Exhibits a lateral convexity
- Gradually expands distally
