The intercarpal joints are the articulations between the individual carpal bones. They are plane synovial joints. The small amount of movement between the carpal bones at these joints contributes to total wrist mobility. The carpals together form an arch in the tranverse plane that is concave palmarly. This arch deepens with wrist flexion and flattens with wrist extension.
