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.


What movement of your forearm results in the distal end of your radius being medial to your ulna and your palms facing backward or downward?

Pronation of the hand results in the distal end of the radius being medial to the ulna and the palms facing backward or downward. This position is in contrast to the supination of the anatomic position.


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.
