The radius is one of two bones of the forearm. It's on the thumb side of your forearm. It's wide at the wrist end (distal) and narrow at the elbow end (proximal).

The radial head is the name of the part of the radius at the elbow end of the forearm and forms part of the elbow joint.

A non-displaced fracture just means that the fractured (broken) pieces of bone are not moved out of place. Another way of stating this is that the bone is cracked. It's broken all the way through but not moved out of its normal position.
