Educational content only — not medical advice.
Anatomy
The interosseous membrane of the right forearm is an aponeurotic syndesmotic sheet spanning the right radius and ulna, maintaining interosseous spacing and tension during forearm pronation and supination.
Clinical notes
Galeazzi and Monteggia fracture-dislocations involve transmission of disruptive rotational and axial forces through the forearm interosseous membrane.
