end of radius 24 where radius 24 defines part of the wrist joint and by the proximal radius 36 located at the proximal end of radius 24 where radius 24 defines part the elbow joint as shown in fig2 radius 24 is further characterized by the styloid process 40 in one embodiment a method for augmentation of a bone is provided in the present embodiment the method is applied to the radius 24 but it should be understood that the method can be applied to other bones including other long bones such as for example the femur and the tibia the bone augmentation method for the present embodiment can be effected after reduction of a fracture of radius 24 whereby a fractured radius 24 has been properly u201c set u201d so that the fractured portions of radius 24 are oriented in a manner that will permit them to heal the method can also be employed prophylactically in a patient at high risk for fracture perhaps based on a patient having already injured the radius 24 on one arm and therefore at risk of injuring the radius 24 on the other arm the method can thus be applied to augment prophylactically an unfractured bone the method can be performed using a kit of apparatuses an example of such a kit is shown in fig3 and indicated at 100 kit 100 comprises a trocar 104 which itself comprises a hollow cannula 106 and a stylet 107 that is received through cannula 106 when assembled cannula 106 and the tip of stylet 107 form a contiguous tip for piercing through tissue once piercing is complete stylet 107 can be removed.
