=Distal end

At the distal end (distal extremity) there is a bony protrusion, the stylus process (Processus styloideus radii). This is where the brachioradialis muscle begins. The distal end is thicker in its entirety than the shaft of the radius. On the medial side of the distal end is a notch, the incisura ulnaris. It is there for the head of the ulna. The widening distal end of the radius has the articulation surface Facies articularis carpalis. The carpal bones border on it.
