Wrist Structure[edit | edit source]
The wrist structure include three joints and nine bones:
- Distal ulna and distal radius make up the distal radioulnar joint
- The radius, the scaphoid, the lunate, and the triquetrum, which are proximal carpal bones are part of the radiocarpal joint
- The trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate bones are the distal carpal bones. Together with the proximal carpal bones they make up the midcarpal joint.
