BONES OF FOREARM
RADIUS
The radius is the lateral bone of the forearm, and is homologous with the tibia of the
lower limb. It has an upper end, a lower end and a shaft.
Side Determination
Upper end is having disc shaped head while lower end is expanded with a styloid
process.
At the lower end, the anterior surface is in the form of thick prominent ridge. while
the posterior surface presents four grooves for the extensor tendons.
The sharpest border of the shaft is the medial border.
The ulna is the medial bone of the forearm, and is homologous with
the fibula of the lower limb. It has upper end, shaft and a lower end.
Side Determinolion
The upper end is hook-like, with its concavity directed forwards.
The lateral border of the shaft is sharp and crest-like.
The metacarpal bones are 5 miniature long bones, which are numbered
Each bone has a head placed distally, a shaft and a base at the proximal end.
The head is round. It has an articular surface which extends more antero-posteriorly
than laterally. It extends more on the palmar surface than on the dorsal surface.
The heads of the metacarpal bones form the knuckles.
The shaft is concave on the palmar surface. Its dorsal surface bears a flat triangular
area in its
distal part.
The base is irregularly expanded.om lateral to the medial side
