Radioulnar Joints Anatomy: Proximal, Distal, Pronation & Supination
Radioulnar Joints Anatomy
The radius and ulna articulate at
the proximal and distal radioulnar joints, which are synovial. At the proximal
joint, the head of the radius articulates with the radial notch of the ulna
(Fig. 3.88). The head and neck are encircled by the anular ligament, which
attaches to the anterior and posterior margins of the notch on the ulna (Fig.
3.92) and blends with
the capsule and radial collateral ligament of the elbow. Thus
the cavity of the proximal joint is continuous with that of the elbow.
