The styloid process of the ulna projects from the medial and back part of the ulna. It descends a little lower than the head. The head is separated from the styloid process by a depression for the attachment of the apex of the triangular articular disk, and behind, by a shallow groove for the tendon of the extensor carpi ulnaris muscle.
Near the wrist, the ulnar, with two eminences; the lateral and larger is a rounded, articular eminence, termed the head of the ulna; the medial, narrower and more projecting, is a non-articular eminence, the ulnar styloid process. The head of the ulna presents an articular surface, part of which, of an oval or semilunar form, is directed ...
The triquetral bone may be distinguished by its pyramidal shape, and by an oval isolated facet for articulation with the pisiform bone. It is situated at the upper and ulnar side of the carpus. To facilitate its palpation in an exam, the hand must be radially deviated so that the triquetrium moves out from under the ulnar styloid process.
ulna bone of the lower arm - Ulnar styloid process; Third metacarpal - Third metacarpal styloid process; Tibia and Fibula - Tibial process, fibular process. 5th metatarsal of the foot - also known as the tuberosity of the fifth metatarsal; In botany, a styloid is a needle-shaped crystal of calcium oxalate found in some plants.
proximal ulna fracture with dislocation of radial head: blow to forearm: Monteggia fracture at Who Named It? Moore's fracture: Edward Mott Moore: distal radius fracture with ulnar dislocation and entrapment of styloid process under annular ligament: Moore's fracture at TheFreeDictionary.com: Pipkin fracture-dislocation: G. Pipkin
It rotates around the ulna and the far end (where it joins to the bones of the hand), known as the styloid process of the radius, is [clarification needed] the distance from the ulna (center of the circle) to the edge of the radius (the circle). The ulna acts as the center point to the circle because when the arm is rotated the ulna does not move.
Posttraumatic arthritis of the wrist, degeneration of the articular surface before and after resection X-rays of a wrist fusion X-rays of pins across a distal radius fracture: Notice the ulnar styloid base fracture, which has not been fixed. This patient has instability of the DRUJ because the TFCC is not in continuity with the ulna.
The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is a pivot joint located between the distal ends of the radius and ulna, which make up the forearm. Formed by the head of the ulna and the ulnar notch of the radius, the DRUJ is separated from the radiocarpal (wrist) joint by an articular disk lying between the radius and the styloid process of the ulna.
