Bones from arm and tibia where odd parts dislodged (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

radii

'bones' is the definition.
(radius is a kind of bone)

'arm and tibia where odd parts dislodged' is the wordplay.
'where odd parts dislodged' indicates alternate letters (the letters in odd-numbered positions are removed).
'arm'+'and'+'tibia'='armandtibia'
The alternate letters of 'armandtibia' are 'RADII'.

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for radii that I've seen before include "more than one spoke" , "Half diameters" , "Lines drawn from a circle's centre" , "parts for arms" , "Straight lines from the centre to the surface of a sphere" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
