Abstract:
Radius was relatively shorter and broader as compare to ulna. Radius was fused to the ulna in the entire length except for two inter-osseous spaces, namely, proximal inter-osseous and distal inter-osseous spaces. Ulna was the longest bone of the fore-limb and was strongly curved. The Proximal extremity of radius was irregularly oval in outline with its long axis being medio-lateral in direction and the Distal extremity was thicker and larger than the proximal one. The proximal extremity of ulna comprised of olecranon process and semi-lunar notch. The olecranon process was directed dorso-caudally and had a well-developed summit, the tuber olecrani.
