Distal Most Carpal Bone Identification

The carpal bones, located in the wrist, are arranged in two rows:

  • Proximal Row: Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform.
  • Distal Row: Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, Hamate.

The question asks to identify the distal most carpal bone. The distal row is positioned towards the metacarpals (bones of the palm).

Locating the Distal Most Bone

The bones within the distal row are the Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, and Hamate. The Hamate bone is situated on the ulnar (medial) side of the wrist within this distal row.

Comparing the options provided:

  • Hamate: Located in the distal row.
  • Pisiform: Located in the proximal row.
  • Triquetral: Located in the proximal row.
  • Lunate: Located in the proximal row.
