The radial collateral ligament (external lateral ligament, radial carpal collateral ligament) extends from the tip of the styloid process of the radius and attaches to the radial side of the scaphoid (formerly navicular bone of the hand), immediately adjacent to its proximal articular surface and some fibres extend to the lateral side of the trapezium (greater multangular bone).
FMA. 38866. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] MRI of the elbow (T1 weighted) showing an unimpaired radial collateral ligament and extensor tendon. The radial collateral ligament (RCL), lateral collateral ligament (LCL), or external lateral ligament[Explain 1] is a ligament in the elbow on the side of the radius.
The head of the radius has been sawn off and the bone dislodged from the ligament. The proximal radioulnar articulation, also known as the proximal radioulnar joint (PRUJ), is a synovial pivot joint between the circumference of the head of the radius and the ring formed by the radial notch of the ulna and the annular ligament.
The palmar radiocarpal ligament (anterior ligament, volar radiocarpal ligament) is a broad membranous band, attached above to the distal end of the radius, and passing downward to the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum and capitate of the carpal bones in the wrist. In addition to this broad membrane, there is a rounded fasciculus, superficial to the ...
Triangular fibrocartilage disc. The triangular fibrocartilage disc (TFC) is an articular discus that lies on the pole of the distal ulna. It has a triangular shape and a biconcave body; the periphery is thicker than its center. The central portion of the TFC is thin and consists of chondroid fibrocartilage; this type of tissue is often seen in ...
The supinator consists of two planes of fibers, between which passes the deep branch of the radial nerve.The two planes arise in common—the superficial one originating as tendons and the deeper by muscular fibers [2] —from the supinator crest of the ulna, the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, the radial collateral ligament, and the annular radial ligament.
Interosseous membrane labeled at bottom center. The interosseous membrane of the forearm (rarely middle or intermediate radioulnar joint) is a fibrous sheet that connects the interosseous margins of the radius and the ulna. It is the main part of the radio-ulnar syndesmosis, a fibrous joint between the two bones.
The radius is a long bone, prism -shaped and slightly curved longitudinally. The radius is part of two joints: the elbow and the wrist. At the elbow, it joins with the capitulum of the humerus, and in a separate region, with the ulna at the radial notch. At the wrist, the radius forms a joint with the ulna bone.
