GeneralitiesWhat is the scaphoid? AnatomyFunctionsDevelopmentAssociated pathologies
Anatomists have coined the term scaphoid, because the bone in question has the shape of a boat.
On the scaphoid, at least 6 regions of some anatomical importance are recognizable: the upper surface, which articulates with the radius; the lower surface, which is articulated with a trapezoid and trapezoid; the dorsal surface, which is home to important ligaments; the palmar surface, which houses a head of the transverse carpal ligament; the lateral surface, on which a head of the radial collateral ligament is inserted; finally, the medial surface, which articulates with the lunate and the capitate.
