Do radium and radius have the same meaning?
Radium and radius do not mean the same thing. Radium is an element in group 2. It is radioactive and was discovered by the Curies. Radius is either the distance from the centre of a circle to its circumference, or a bone in the forearm.
Is The wrist distal to the forearm?
No, the fingernail is distal to the elbow. Imagine a body standing with arms and legs spread out, like Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. To determine if a part is distal or proximal to another part, look to see if it is closer or farther from the center of the body relative to the body part you are comparing it to. The fingernail is farther from the center of the body than the elbow, so it is distal to the elbow. In contrast the shoulder is closer to the center of the body, so it is proximal to the elbow. Using the same reasoning, the elbow is distal to the shoulder. When you're comfortable with those distinctions, you can start thinking about other terms like ventral, dorsal, caudal, saggital, coronal, etc.
Is cubital and antecubital fossa the same?
Yes. Both refer to the anterior elbow. As far as I can gather, ante- is sometimes added to signify the antebrachium which is another name for the forearm.

What causes pain in left elbow down my arm to hand numbness?
Sounds like a serious problem. You should have that checked out by a doctor or a chiropractor. ************************************************************* This is a fairly common condition called ulnar neuritis or draftsman's elbow...usually caused by leaning forearm on edge of desk, table etc..for long periods of time. It can also be caused from repetitive elbow use and or arthritic build up at the joint where the ulnar nerve passes through. The person usually has numbness down his elbow (same area if you ever have hit your funny bone) and in his ring and or little finger that may be relieved by repositioning.
What is the difference between brachialis and brachioradialis?
The brachialis muscle is located deep to the biceps brachii and is the main flexor of the elbow joint. The brachioradialis muscle is a superficial muscle located on the lateral side of the forearm that aids in both elbow flexion and forearm supination.
