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.
