Radius is the bone of the forearm that is present on the lateral side, has proximal and distal ends and a shaft. Proximal end includes the head which is discoid in shape, its superior articular shallow surface articulates with the capitulum of humerus. Even the morphometry of the distal radius is significant in numerous clinical orthopaedic situations such as reduction of distal radius fractures and in the design of distal radius prosthesis. The aim of this present study was to determine the morphometrical analysis of proximal and distal end of radius bone and to describe the morphological features of head, neck and radial tuberosity of radius bone. The morphometric parameters of the proximal and distal end of radius bone were measured and observed using digital Vernier caliper. A total 60 bones which consists of 30 right hand side and left hand side of radius bone was obtained and evaluated. In each bone, length and breadth of upper end, neck, tuberosity and lower end were analysed statistically and represented graphically. In the study the mean diameter value of head, neck, radial tuberosity and distal end in right side of radius bone was 18.68±0.98 mm, 12.11±0.78 mm, 23.84±0.237 mm and 23.19±0.626mm respectively. The mean diameter value of head, neck, radial tuberosity and distal end in the left side of the radius bone was 18.355±0.628mm, 11.48±0.89mm, 23.06±0.527mm, 22.71±0.235mm respectively. This study would be important for orthopaedic surgeons in case of severe fracture and oncologist in case of tumour in distal end for the purpose of making prosthesis for the radial head and distal end of radius and for reconstruction of bicipital tendon.
