What Is Radial Bone?

The Main Bone of the Forearm, Also Known as the Radial Bone
Together, along with the humerus, they create the elbow joint. The radius is often thought of as the larger of the two long bones in the forearm because it is thicker than the ulna at the wrist, but it is thinner at the elbow.

Where is the radial bone?

The radius is a long bone in the forearm. It lies laterally and parallel to ulna, the second of the forearm bones. The radius pivots around the ulna to produce movement at the proximal and distal radio-ulnar joints.

What's the radius bone?

The radius is one of the two bones that make up the forearm, the other being the ulna. It forms the radio-carpel joint at the wrist and the radio-ulnar joint at the elbow. It is in the lateral forearm when in the anatomical position. It is the smaller of the two bones.
