Is the ankle distal to the phalanges?
The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.The radius is proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the radius.
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.
The head of the radius is located?
at the distal end of the radius
Is the radius medial to the ulna?
No. The radius is distal to the humerus. The humerus is proximal to the radius. :D
What is the term for a fracture of the distal end of the radius and ulna?
A fracture of both radius and ulna is a radioulnar fracture. This term is not specific to distal fractures.
Is the radial head located at the distal end of the radius?
The radial head is located at the top of the radius bone in your forearm near the elbow. The distal end of the radius is near the wrist. So therefore the radial head is not located near the distal end.
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.
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 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 the diagnosis code for distal radius buckle fracture?
813.42
Is the Styloid process at the distal end of the radius?
Yes. There are bony projections on the distal ends of both the ulna and radius. These bony projections can be identified by palpating them directly, and are referred to as the Styloid Processes.
Is the ulna proximal or distal to the radius in directional position?
The humerus is proximal to the radius. The humerus is the upper arm bone, and the radius is the main bone of the forearm.
