The hand
and wrist are complex structures with three types
of bones
and 27 bones altogether. These are: 8 carpal or wrist bones, 5 metacarpal or “palm” bones,
and 14 phalanges or finger and thumb bones. The carpals are round and rotate
in a ball-bearing type of motion at the end of the radius bone. This gives your
wrist the flexibility to move in any direction. There are also 35 muscles, tendons,
and ligaments in the hand and wrist that support the broad range of joint movement. |
