2. Anatomy Bones Carpal Bones Scaphoid Lunate Triquetral Pisiform Trapezium Trapezoid Capitate Hamate Easy way of remembering carpal bones..starting from the lateral most bone of the proximal row.. "SHE LOOKS TOO PRETTY,TRY TO CATCH HER" She-Scaphoid,Looks-lunate,Too-triquetral,Pretty-pisiform;;Try- trapezium,To-trapezoid,Catch-capitate,Her-hamate

4. "SHE LOOKS TOO PRETTY,TRY TO CATCH HER" She – Scaphoid Looks – Lunate Too- Triquetral Pretty – Pisiform Try – Trapezium To – Trapezoid Catch – Capitate Her - Hamate

5. Scaphoid (She) Largest bone in the proximal carpal row Most commonly fractured bone in the wrist

6. Lunate (Looks) Gets it’s name from its semilunar shape

7. Triquetral (too) Sits below the Pisiform

8. Pisiform (Pretty) Sits on top of the Triquetral/ Triquetrum

9. Trapezium (Try) Sits below the 1 st metacarpal

10. Trapezoid (To) Sits directly below 2 nd metacarpal

11. Capitate (catch) Sits directly below the 3 rd metacarpal

12. Hamate (her) Sits below the 4 th and 5 th metacarpal

13. Metacarpals I - Thumb II - Index III - Middle IV - Ring V - Pinkie

14. Phalanges Digit 1 (thumb) has a proximal and distal phalange Digits 2 – 5 each have a proximal, middle and distal phalange
