  2. Radial styloid process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_styloid_process

    The radial styloid process is found on the lateral surface of the distal radius bone. [1] It extends obliquely downward into a strong, conical projection. The tendon of the brachioradialis attaches at its base. [2] The radial collateral ligament of the wrist attaches at its apex.

  3. Brachioradialis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachioradialis

    Lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus and the orbicular ligament of the radius: Insertion: Distal radius (radial styloid process) Artery: Radial recurrent artery: Nerve: Radial nerve (C5-C8 & T1) Actions: Flexion of elbow, supination and pronation of the radioulnar joint to 90° Identifiers; Latin: musculus brachioradialis: TA98: A04.6.02. ...

  4. Radius (bone) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_(bone)

    The radius is named so because the radius (bone) acts like the radius (of a circle). It rotates around the ulna and the far end (where it joins to the bones of the hand), known as the styloid process of the radius, is [clarification needed] the distance from the ulna (center of the circle) to the edge of the radius (the circle). The ulna acts ...

  5. Styloid process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Styloid_process

    In anatomy, a styloid process (from Greek stylos (στῦλος), "pillar"), usually serving as points of attachment for muscles, refers to the slender, pointed process (protrusion) of: temporal bone of the skull - Temporal styloid process; radius bone of the lower arm - Radial styloid process; ulna bone of the lower arm - Ulnar styloid process

  6. De Quervain syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Quervain_syndrome

    Symptoms are pain and tenderness at the radial side of the wrist, fullness or thickening over the thumb side of the wrist, painful radial abduction of the thumb, and difficulty gripping with the affected side of the hand. [2] Pain is made worse by movement of the thumb and wrist, and may radiate to the thumb or the forearm. [2]

  7. Scaphoid bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaphoid_bone

    It is located on the radial side of the wrist, [1]: 176 adjacent to the styloid process of the radius. [2] It articulates with the radius, lunate, trapezoid, trapezium, and capitate. [1]: 176 Over 80% of the bone is covered in articular cartilage. [3]

  8. Brachioradialis reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachioradialis_reflex

    The brachioradialis reflex (also known as supinator reflex) is observed during a neurological exam by striking the brachioradialis tendon (at its insertion at the base of the wrist into the radial styloid process (radial side of wrist around 4 inches (102 mm) proximal to base of thumb)) directly with a reflex hammer when the patient's arm is relaxing.

  9. Anatomical snuffbox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_snuffbox

    The lateral border (radial side) is a pair of parallel and intimate tendons, of the extensor pollicis brevis and the abductor pollicis longus. [2] (Accordingly, the anatomical snuffbox is most visible, having a more pronounced concavity, during thumb extension.) The proximal border is formed by the styloid process of the radius
