Frequently Misdiagnosed Cause of Wrist Pain #scaphoidfracture The scaphoid bone of the wrist forms an important mechanical linkage between the proximal and distal carpal rows. Approximately 80% of the surface of the #scaphoid is covered with cartilage to articulate proximally with the distal radius, ulnarly with the lunate and capitate, and distally with the trapezoid and trapezium bone. Blood vessels that originate from the dorsal carpal branch of the radial artery enter the scaphoid on the dor
