Starting in ulnar deviation and slight extension, the wrist is moved radially and slightly flexed with constant thumb pressure on the scaphoid.
Arterial flow to the scaphoid enters via the distal pole and travels to the proximal pole.
He suffered a mild concussion and a fractured scaphoid bone in his right wrist and was placed on the disabled list.
The transverse carpal ligament is a wide ligament that runs across the hand, from the scaphoid bone to the hamate bone and pisiform.
This radial deviation causes the scaphoid to flex.
Due to lack of stability from the separated scaphoid and lunate, the lunate may angulate to the posterior side of the hand.
The superior articular surfaces of the scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum form a smooth convex surface, the condyle, which is received into the concavity.
The lateral surface is flat and narrow, with a crescentic facet for articulation with the scaphoid.
