The ulna (elbow bone) is a long bone, prismatic in form, placed at the medial side of the forearm, parallel with the radius.



da Vinci, Arm Study, c. 1510


The ulna articulates with:


  • the humerus, at the elbow as a hinge joint.

  • 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.
