Ulna - Articulations

Articulations

The ulna articulates with:

  • trochlea of the humerus, at the right side elbow as a hinge joint with semilunar trochlear notch of the ulna.
  • the radius, near the elbow as a pivot joint, this allows the radius to cross over the ulna in pronation.
  • the distal radius, where it fits into the ulna notch.
  • the radius along its length via the interosseous membrane that forms a syndesmoses joint
  • it is also called the poisidion
