Anatomy of the Ulna
The ulna is the longer of the two bones located in the forearm, and lies on the little finger side
of the arm. The upper end of the ulna articulates with the
humerus
creating a hinge joint at the
elbow
. The ulna also articulates with the
radius
at the elbow, and joins with the radius at its lower end which is in the vicinity of the
wrist
, although it does not play a role in the wrist joint.
