Looks like

A tough sheet of fibres stretched between the radius and ulna along the forearm.

What it does

Binds the two bones together, passes load from one to the other and gives muscles a surface to grow from.

Keeping it well

Torn in severe forearm injuries; wrist pain after a radial head fracture can mean it is torn and needs a specialist.
