There are 8 small bones in wrist joint.Proximalrow contains (From lateral to medial side.) ScaphoidLunateTriquartal and Pisiform bones. Except Pisiform other three are attached to lower end of 'Radius' bone. Please note that in 'elbow' joint Ulna bone takes part and in wrist joint charge is handed over to Radius bone. Distal row contains Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate and Ham-mate. So if you ask about the single bone, then the answer is Radius and not Ulna bone. But please remember that 'single' bone can not form a joint. There has to be at-least two bones. Here lower end of Radius comes in contact with three bones. Scaphoid, Lunate and Triquartal bones. Pisiform is a sesmoid bone. On distal side there are carpal-metacarpal joints. There are 5 metacarpals attached to four carpal bones.
The rotation of the forearm bone can impact the range of motion in the wrist and elbow joints. When the forearm bone rotates, it can affect the positioning of the wrist and elbow, allowing for a greater range of motion in these joints. This rotation allows for movements such as twisting the wrist or bending the elbow to occur more easily and with a wider range of motion.
The wrist bone would be the Ulna. carpals..
The radius bone is so named because of its ability to rotate around the ulna bone, which allows the forearm to rotate. This rotation motion gives the appearance that the radius is "radiating" around the ulna, hence the name "radius."
Pronation and supination are movements of the forearm and hand. In pronation, the palm faces downward, while in supination, the palm faces upward. These movements involve rotation of the radius bone around the ulna bone in the forearm. Pronation and supination also affect the positioning of the wrist and hand, with pronation causing the hand to rotate inward and supination causing the hand to rotate outward.
The ulna is one of the two long bones in the forearm, located on the side opposite the thumb. It runs parallel to the radius and helps to form the elbow joint. The ulna is responsible for stabilizing the forearm and allowing for rotation of the wrist and forearm.

The bone on the inside forearm (near the thumb) is the radius; the one on the outside of the forearm is the ulna.
The muscle,tendon and ligaments that are in your wrist allow to you to rotate your wrist. ************************************************* Also you have 8 small round-shaped wrist bones in your wrist. That give it stability but also gives it some rotational mobility instead of a "hinge"type joint that's in your elbow.
The term that pertains to the radius and wrist bone is "radiocarpal." This term describes the joint between the radius (one of the forearm bones) and the carpal bones of the wrist. The radiocarpal joint allows for various movements of the wrist, including flexion, extension, and rotation.
The radius and the ulna are the two bones that rotate over the wrist. The radius is the bone on the thumb side of the forearm, while the ulna is on the pinky side. They work together to allow the wrist to flex, extend, and rotate.
The wrist bone would be the Ulna. carpals..
The radius bone is located on the thumb side of the forearm, running parallel to the ulna bone. It is one of the two main bones in the forearm and plays a key role in rotating the forearm and allowing for flexibility in the wrist joint.
A pivot joint is found at the elbow. The forearm is between the elbow and the wrist and so has two main joints. One at the elbow and one at the wrist. The other at the wrist is a gliding joint.
The Radius is one of the two bones in the arm between the elbow and the wrist.

These movements involve rotation of the radius bone around the ulna bone in the forearm. Pronation and supination also affect the positioning of the wrist and hand, with pronation causing the hand to rotate inward and supination causing the hand to rotate outward.
The bone in the forearm that articulates with the carpels at the wrist joint is the radius. The other forearm bone (the ulna) doesn't articulate withe the carpals because a cartilaginous disc sits between the carpals and the ulna.
