Kate got X-Ray after the crash. the bone that is fractured is radius bone, describe the location of the fracture using specific medical terminology. (3 marks)

The radius bone is one of the two large bones of the forearm, on the thumb side. The specific location of the fracture can be described using medical terminology as follows:

1. Proximal Radius: If the fracture occurred near the elbow joint, it is referred to as a proximal radius fracture. This area includes the head and neck of the radius.

2. Midshaft Radius: If the fracture occurred in the middle of the bone, it is referred to as a midshaft radius fracture.

3. Distal Radius: If the fracture occurred near the wrist joint, it is referred to as a distal radius fracture. This area includes the styloid process of the radius.

The exact location of the fracture along the length of the radius (proximal, midshaft, or distal) would need to be determined by the X-Ray.
