dont move the bone or try to put it back. Use the acronym RED (rest, elevate, direct pressure) wrap the arm in a bandage to stop the bleeding taking care not to apply pressure directly on the exposed bone (many methods can be used such as the doughnut, log cabin method or using a stirafoam cup depending on the situation most of the time you will just have to wrap around the exposed bone then either transport the victim to the ER or call EMS

Move your distal arm bones and hands in the supine(palm up) and pronine (palm down) positions, and you will see the radius is the bone that moves around the radius of the ulna. It is the bone on the side of your thumb, and the ulna is on the side of your pinkie (small finger).
