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.
The ulna or ulnar bone (pl.: ulnae or ulnas) [3] is a long bone in the forearm stretching from the elbow to the wrist. It is on the same side of the forearm as the little finger, running parallel to the radius, the forearm's other long bone. Longer and thinner than the radius, the ulna is considered to be the smaller long bone of the lower arm.
FMA. 54839. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] An interosseous membrane is a thick dense fibrous sheet of connective tissue that spans the space between two bones, forming a type of syndesmosis joint.

The capitate bone is a bone in the human wrist found in the center of the carpal bone region, located at the distal end of the radius and ulna bones. It articulates with the third metacarpal bone (the middle finger) and forms the third carpometacarpal joint. The capitate bone is the largest of the carpal bones in the human hand.
Radial tuberosity is visible at upper left of radius.) Beneath the neck of the radius, on the medial side, is an eminence, the radial tuberosity; its surface is divided into: an anterior, smooth portion, on which a bursa is interposed between the tendon and the bone. Ligaments that support the elbow joint also attach to the radial tuberosity.
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.
23617. Anatomical terms of bone. [edit on Wikidata] The tuberosity of the ulna is a rough eminence on the proximal end of the ulna. It occurs at the junction of the antero-inferior surface of the coronoid process with the front of the body. It provides an insertion point to a tendon of the brachialis [1][2] (the oblique cord of the brachialis ...
