The anatomical name of the joint is the radio-carpal joint. It presents a sinuous opposing. The concave proximal articular surface is formed by the lower end of the radius and the articular disc of the inferior radio-ulnar joint. The reciprocally convex distal articul...
The wrist is made up of eight separate small bones, called the carpal bones. The carpal bones connect the two bones of the forearm, the radius and the ulna, to the bones of the hand. The metacarpal bones are the long bones that lie underneath the palm. The metacarpals attach to the p...
The wrist is variantly defined as: (1) the carpus, or the 8 carpal bones forming the proximal segment of the hand; (2) the wrist joint or radiocarpal joint, the joint between the radius and carpus; and, (3) the region surrounding the carpus and dis...

Positioning PA viewshould be taken with the wrist and elbow at shoulder height. This means that the wrist, elbow and shoulder are all in the transverse plane, perpendicular to the x-ray beam. Only in this position, the radius and the ulna are parallel. ...
Only 60% could accurately name all eight carpal bones on a plain radiograph. This study highlights a lack of basic anatomical and radiographic knowledge that is required for examination of the wrist in the hospital setting and discusses issues that may relate to this in medical training.A...
