Laterally, upon the ulnar side, are seen not onlythe styloid of the ulna and its associated depression, but thehollow above the prominence of the hypothenar eminence. The normal wrist should be felt with the hand both in supina-tion and pronation. With the hand supinated (see Fig. 280) thetip of the styloid process of the radius is found to be lower(nearer the hand) than the head of the ulna. With the hand inpronation (see Fig. 281) the tip of the styloid process of the.
