DescriptionUnreviewed
The posterior surface appears somewhat twisted, so that its upper part is directed a little medialward, its lower part backward and a little lateralward.
Nearly the whole of this surface is covered by the lateral and medial heads of the Triceps brachii, the former arising above, the latter below the radial sulcus.
