A secondary centre appears in the cartilage of the distal extremity about the second or third year; this does not unite with the shaft until the twentieth or twenty-fifth year, somewhat earlier in the female. From this the carpal and ulnar articular surfaces are formed. The centre for the head appears from the fifth to the seventh year, and fuses with the neck about the age of eighteen or twenty. It forms the capitular articular surface and combines with the neck to form the area for articulation with the radial notch of the ulna.
