The radius and ulna articulate by ?

1. Superior radioulnar joint

2. Inferior radioulnar joint

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

? Non synovial

Middle radioulnar union

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

Superior Radioulnar Joint

This articulation is a trochoid or

pivot-joint between

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? the circumference of the

head of the radius

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? ring formed by the radial

notch of the ulna and the

annular ligament.

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

The Annular Ligament (orbicular

ligament)

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

It forms about four-fifths of the

osseo- fibrous ring, and is

attached to the anterior and

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

posterior margins of the radial

notch

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Its upper border blends with the

capsule of elbow joint while

from its lower border a thin

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

loose synovial membrane

passes to be attached to the

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

neck of the radius
Its deep surface is smooth,

and lined by synovial

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

membrane, which is

continuous with that of the

elbow-joint.

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

Quadrate ligament

A thickened band which

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

extends from the inferior

border of the annular

ligament below the radial

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

notch to the neck of the

radius is known as the

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

quadrate ligament.

Middle Radioulnar

Union

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

The shafts of the radius and ulna are connected by

Oblique Cord and Interosseous Membrane

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

The Oblique Cord (oblique

ligament)

Extend downward and lateral y,

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

from the
lateral side of the ulnar tuberosity
to the radius a little below the

radial tuberosity.

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

Its fibers run in the opposite

direction to those of the

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

interosseous membrane.

The Interosseous Membrane

Descend obliquely downward

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

and medially

It extends from the

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

interosseous crest of the

radius to that of the ulna.

It is deficient above,

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

commencing about 2.5 cm.

beneath the tuberosity of

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

the radius.


It helps to transmit

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

forces to ulna and

humerus acting

proximally from hand

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

to radius

Inferior Radioulnar Joint

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

Uniaxial pivot-joint

between head of the ulna and

the ulnar notch on the

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

lower end of the radius.

The articular surfaces are

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

enclosed by capsule and

connected together by ?

? Articular ligaments

1.Anterior radioulnar

ligament

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

2. Posterior radioulnar

ligament

? Articular disc

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Anterior Radioulnar

ligament

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

This ligament is a

narrow band of fibers

extending from the

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

anterior margin of the

ulnar notch of the

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

radius to the front of
the head of the ulna.
Posterior (Dorsal)Radioulnar

ligament

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

This ligament

extends

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

between

corresponding

surfaces on

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

the dorsal

aspect of the
articulation.

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

The Articular Disc

The articular disc is triangular in

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

shape placed transversely beneath

the head of the ulna

Its periphery is thicker than its center,

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

which is occasionally perforated.

Radius

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

Attachment ?

apex to a depression between the

styloid process and the head of

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

the ulna;

base, which is thin, to the prominent

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

edge between the ulnar notch and

carpal articular surface of the

radius.

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

Synovial

Membrane

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

The synovial

membrane of this

articulation is

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

extremely loose,

It extends upward as a

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

recess (recessus

sacciformis)

between the radius

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

and the ulna.

Movements

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

.
Pronation ? Radius turns anteromedially and

obliquely across the ulna, its proximal end

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

remaining lateral and distal end becoming

medial. During this action, interosseous

membrane becomes spiralled.

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

Supination ? Radius returns to a position

lateral and paral el to ulna and interosseous

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

membrane becomes unspiral ed.

Hand can thus be turned through 140? ? 150?

and with elbow extended this can be

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

increased to 360? by humeral rotation and

scapular movement.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Axis of supination and pronation extends from the center

of the head of the radius to the ulnar attachment of

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

articular disc. This is axis of movement of radius

relative to ulna and it does not remain stationery.

In this movement the distal head of the ulna is not

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

stationary, but describes a curve in a direction

opposite to that taken by the head of the radius.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

Muscles Producing Movement

Pronation ? Pronator quadratus

Pronator Teres

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

Gravity also assists in pronation

When these muscles contract, they pul the distal end of the

radius over the ulna, resulting in pronation of the hand

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---

Supination ? Supinator
