Radial tuberositas is an anatomical landmark located on the radius bone in the forearm. It is a roughened eminence situated on the medial aspect of the radius, just distal to the neck of the bone. This projection serves as the primary insertion point for the biceps brachii muscle. The biceps brachii, a powerful flexor of the elbow and supinator of the forearm, attaches to the radial tuberositas via its tendon. The rough texture of the tuberositas provides a strong anchor for the tendon, allowing the muscle to effectively transmit force for movement. Variations in the size and prominence of the radial tuberositas can occur between individuals, influenced by factors such as muscle mass and habitual use. This bony landmark is crucial for understanding forearm biomechanics and is often palpated during physical examinations of the elbow and proximal forearm.
