The carpal bones (i.e. carpus) are eight irregularly-shaped bones located in the wrist region. These bones connect the distal aspects of the long bones of the forearm (radius and ulna) to the proximal aspects of the metacarpal bones. The carpal bones are organized in two rows: proximal and distal. The proximal row of carpal bones (from radial to ulnar) includes the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum and pisiform bones. The distal row includes the trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate bones. Each carp

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome💫 . ✋🏻 The wrist is made up of 8 individual small bones called carpals; the way they are arranged gives way to a structure known as the carpal tunnel. Makes sense. . 🤚🏻 Through this tunnel travels the median nerve along with nine flexor tendons. Issues including: . ⚡️numbness/ tingling/ pain in the first 3 fingers ⚡️muscle atrophy (wasting) . ✋🏻 may present when that nerve is compressed within the tunnel by the tendons or on top by the transverse carpal ligament.
