    Radius PDF

    The radius is a long bone in the forearm with an upper disc-shaped head that articulates with the humerus, a shaft, and a lower expanded styloid process. It has borders, surfaces, and attachments for muscles like the biceps brachii, supinator, and pronator teres. Common fractures include Colles' fracture which occurs just above the lower end and Smith's fracture where the distal fragment is displaced anteriorly. A pulled elbow is a subluxation of the radial head from the annular ligament in children due to a forceful jerk on the hand.

    RADIUS

    (SHALU THARIWAL)
    Radius

     It is the lateral bone of forearm.


     It is a type of long bone.
     Has an upper end ,lower end and a shaft.
    Side determination

     Upper end-disc shaped head


     Lower end-expanded, styloid process
     Medial border is sharpest.
     Lower end- tubercle of lister on posterior
    surface.
    Side determination
    Features

     Upper end
    a) Head(disc- shaped, articulates with
    capitulum of humerus.)
    b) Neck( annular ligament)
    c) tuberosity
    Shaft

    anterior border
    Borders posterior border
    medial/ interosseous border

    anterior surface
    Surfaces posterior surface
    lateral surface
    Lower end

     Widest part of bone


     5 surfaces
     Anterior surface, posterior surface, medial,
    lateral, inferior surface.
     Lister tubercle-0n posterior surface
     Ulnar notch- on medial surface
     Lateral surface-styloid process
     Inferior surface- area for scaphoid and lunate
    Attachments

     Biceps brachii – inserts on radial tuberosity


     Supinator-inserted into upper part of lateral
    surface
     Pronator teres-inserted into middle of lateral
    surface
     Brachioradialis-inserts above the styloid
    process,
     Pronator quadratus-inserted into lower part
    of anterior surface.
    Attachments

     Flexor digitorum superficialis-origin from


    upper part of anterior border
     Flexor pollicis longus- origin form upper 2/3 of
    anterior surface
     Abductor pollicis longus-arise form posterior
    surface
     Extensor pollicis brevis- posterior surface
     Interosseous membrane-attached to
    interosseous border
    Clinical Anatomy

     Colles’ fracture= radius gets fractured about


    2cm above its lower end due to fall on
    outstretched hand.
     Smith’s fracture= if distal fragments gets
    displaced anteriorly.
    Pulled elbow

     Subluxation of head of radius – due to sudden


    powerful jerk on the hand of a child may
    dislodge the head of radius from the annular
    ligament.
    Pulled or nursemaid’s elbow
