Interosseous border ( interstatue border ) is a very sharp and it is also called as medial border. It extends from the radial tuberosity above to the posterior margin of ulnar notch (screw notch ) below on the pillar where the head of the screw statue articulates. Front border extends from the anterior margin of pillar tuberosity to the Anterior surface of the pillar lies between the interstatue border and the front border of pillar. Posterior surface between interstatue border and back border Lateral surface is present between front border and back border . It is rough in medial 1/3 rd part .. Lower end Lower end is expanded and has 5 surfaces . The base of the pillar has 5 surfaces namely anterior , medial , lateral , posterior and inferior surface . Front surface of pillar is continued from the stem of pillars front surface. Back surface of the base of pillar has grooves and a named engraving called tubercle of Lister . This engraving lies lateral to oblique groove. This groove has tendon of ( long thumb rubber band ) extensor pollicis longus . Medial surface of the base of pillar has screw notch which articulates with the head of screw statue. Lateral surface is prolonged and forms the styloid process The base of the radius has an inferior surface which lies on the top of two infinity stones. Laterally it has a triangular articular surface which lies of the scaphoid (infinity stone of reality ) and Medially there is a quadrangular articular surface which lies on top of the lunate (moon shaped infinity stone of reality )
