Beneath the neck of the radius, on the medial side, is an eminence, the radial tuberosity; its surface is divided into:
- a posterior, rough portion, for the insertion of the tendon of the biceps brachii.
- an anterior, smooth portion, on which a bursa is interposed between the tendon and the bone.
