Description

The radial notch is the smooth, oval, articular indentation found along the lateral aspect of the coronoid process of ulna. Its anterior and posterior margins provide attachment sites for the annular ligament of the radius.

The radial notch of ulna articulates with the medial portion of the articular circumference of the head of the radius, forming the proximal radioulnar joint, which itself contributes to the formation of the elbow joint.
