Wrist Joint
2
The radiocarpal joint and the midcarpal joint create the wrist. The radiocarpal joint consists of the distal end of the radius and the radioulnar disk proximally and the scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum distally. The radiocarpal joint and the midcarpal joint create the wrist. The radiocarpal joint consists of the distal end of the radius and the radioulnar disk proximally and the scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum distally. The midcarpal joints occur beween the two rows of carpal bones and contribute to wrist motion. Their shape is irregular and they are classified as plane joints. The midcarpal joints occur beween the two rows of carpal bones and contribute to wrist motion. Their shape is irregular and they are classified as plane joints. The carpometacarpal (CMC) joints occur beween the distal row of carpal bones and the proximal end of the metacarpal bones. The carpometacarpal (CMC) joints occur beween the distal row of carpal bones and the proximal end of the metacarpal bones.

Bones and Landmarks Starting on the thumb-side of the prximal row are the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, and pisiform. In the distal row, lateral to medial, are the trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate. Starting on the thumb-side of the prximal row are the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, and pisiform.
