A fracture of both radius and ulna is a radioulnar fracture. This term is not specific to distal fractures.

Is the radius medial to the ulna?
No. The radius is distal to the humerus. The humerus is proximal to the radius. :D
What bony landmark of the anterior humerus articulates with the ulna?
To you mean the joint itself? The elbow, AKA the proximal-distal axis of the humerus and ulna, respectively.Or just the distal epiphysis of the humerus (the rounded head of the bone which is farther fromthe arm's point of attachment to the torso)
Which bones articulates with the ulna?
At the distal end: the carpels in the hand at the head of the ulna and the radius at the ulna notch of radius. At the proximal end: the trochlea of the humerus at the trochlear notch and coronoid process of the ulna and the head of the radius at the radial notch of the ulna.
What are all the bones that are distal to the glenoid cavity and proximal to the wrist?
The metacarpal bones are the bones distal to the wrist.metacarpalsThe five hand bones between the carpal bones of the wrist and the phalangeal bones of the fingers are the metacarpals.
What is distal to the left elbow and proximal to the wrist?
The left radius and ulna, the bones of the forearm, are distal to the left elbow and proximal to the left wrist. The radius is the larger of the two bones.
What is a bone break at the wrist called?
a fracture
What bones are distal to the radius and ulna and proximal to the metacarpals?
The radius and ulna are proximal to the carpal bones. The carpals are distal to the radius and ulna.
Is the radius medial to the ulna?
No. The radius is distal to the humerus. The humerus is proximal to the radius. :D
Is distal radius and ulna type of syndesmosis joint?
The radius and ulna are joined by a syndesmosis along the lengths of their shafts. The distal radioulnar joint is not a syndesmosis.
What type of fracture results from the radius and ulna being forced backward and upward?
A fracture resulting from the radius and ulna being forced backward and upward is called a Colles' fracture. It is a type of distal radius fracture where the bone breaks near the wrist joint, usually due to a fall on an outstretched hand. Colles' fractures typically result in a dorsal displacement of the hand and a characteristic deformity known as a "dinner fork" deformity.
What are the names of the two bones that articulate with the distal humerus?
radius and ulna
What are the names of the two bones that articulate with the 'distal humerus'?
radius and ulna
What bony landmark of the anterior humerus articulates with the ulna?
To you mean the joint itself? The elbow, AKA the proximal-distal axis of the humerus and ulna, respectively.Or just the distal epiphysis of the humerus (the rounded head of the bone which is farther fromthe arm's point of attachment to the torso)
Is elbow proximal the wrist?
No. The wrist is DISTAL to the elbow. The radius and the ulna ( your forearm ) are what separates the elbow joint from the carpals, and the metacarpals, which is your wrist.
What is located on the distal aspect of the humerus?
The medial and lateral epicondyles are located on the distal apsect of the humerus. The distal humerus articulates with the radius and ulna.
Which bones articulate with the distal radius?
The lower extremity of the radius actually has two bones which it articulates with. The carpal and the ulna.
Which bones articulates with the ulna?
At the distal end: the carpels in the hand at the head of the ulna and the radius at the ulna notch of radius. At the proximal end: the trochlea of the humerus at the trochlear notch and coronoid process of the ulna and the head of the radius at the radial notch of the ulna.
