Anatomical terms of bone [ edit on Wikidata]

Beneath the neck of the radius, on the medial side, is an eminence, the radial tuberosity; its surface is divided into:

• a posterior, rough portion, for the insertion of the tendon of the biceps brachii. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}
• an anterior, smooth portion, on which a bursa is interposed between the tendon and the bone.

Ligaments that support the elbow joint also attach to the radial tuberosity. ^[5]
