Supination
• Supination is when the bones of forearm are parallel
• Palm of hand is facing anteriorly• Supination with the elbow flexed is
a more powerful movement than pronation

• Radius crosses the ulnar• Palm of the hand is facing posteriorly• Radial styloid is more distal than ulnar
styloid• The axis of rotation passes through the
middle of the head of the radius to the base of the styloid process of the ulna

Interosseous Membrane
• Syndesmosis• Fibres pass mainly
downwards and medially
• Radius to ulna• Extends origins of
muscles• Pierced by anterior
interosseous artery• Transmits force
from radius to ulna

• Articular surfaces• Hyaline cartilage• Capsule just beyond articular
margins• Synovial membrane lines
capsule and non-articular structures
• Radial styloid process is more distal than ulnar styloid process

Supinators: Biceps Brachii and Supinator
• Biceps brachii with the elbow flexed
• More powerful• Musculocutaneous C5,6• Supinator (two heads) with
elbow extended• Posterior interosseous C5,6

• Supinator has two heads of origin• The superficial head arises from
the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, the lateral ligament of the elbow and the annular ligament
• The deep head arises from the supinator crest and supinator fossa of the ulna

Supinator
• Supinator is inserted into the upper third of the outer surface of the radius
• When the elbow is extended• The supinator muscle supinates
the forearm i.e. it rotates the radius to turn the palm anteriorly
• Supplied by the posterior interosseous nerve C6,7, which passes between the two heads

• Arises from two heads• The common flexor origin • The medial margin of the coranoid
process of the ulna
Pronator Teres MOB TCD

Pronator Teres
• It is inserted into the most convex aspect of the shaft of the radius
• The radial artery passes superficial to the two heads
• The ulnar artery deep to the two heads• The median nerve between the two
heads• Its action is to assist pronator quadratus
in rapid or forceful pronation of the forearm
• It is also a weak flexor of the elbow• Median nerve C6

• Arises from the anterior aspect of the distal portion of the ulna
• Inserted into the distal aspect of the radius• It is a pronator of the forearm• Supplied by the anterior interosseous
branch of the median nerve• The pronator quadratus is the prime mover
in pronation • Pronator teres contracts when further
speed or strength is required

• Arises from the upper third of the lateral supracondylar line of the humerus
• Inserted into the distal aspect of the radius • Radial nerve C5,6• Flexor of elbow• In the mid position it can initiate, either
pronation or supination• It is used, for example, in the back cast
when fly-fishing
