Abstract
Over the past decade there has been an increased interest in and study of the skeletal anatomy of the wrist. Different morphologic patterns of carpal anatomy have been identified and classified in the wrist. Certain morphologic types of carpal bones have been shown to have a correlation with the development of arthritis in joints of the wrist. Different shapes of carpal bones have also been shown to determine and affect the type of kinematics that they demonstrate.
