The superior extremities of these bones articulate with the lower row of carpalbones.
2
Testing was performed with and without loading of the wrist and K-wire stabilisation of the adjacent carpalbones.
3
The times of appearance of the sites of ossification of the carpalbones are chronologically stated for each bone.
4
Purpose: We hypothesised that intercarpal K-wire fixation of adjacent carpalbones would reduce torque and lever force within a fractured scaphoid bone.
5
To this we answer that there appears no conceivable advantage to be gained by leaving all or any of the carpalbones.
