Neck of radius
Attachment of annular ligament
Head of the radius
Proximal end
Joint surface for humeroradial joint
Contains the fovea capitulum, which receives the capitulum of the humerus
Radial tuberosity
AKA bicipital tuberosity
Anterior, prox.
Muscle attachment
Pronator tubercle
Attachment for pronator teres
Mid-lateral shaft of radius
Anterior oblique line
Radius.
Oblique ligament and muscle attachment
Runs from radial tuberosity to pronator tubercle.
Distal articulating surface of radius
Inferior, uh… distal surface of radius, that, well, articulated with carpals
