The scaphoid is the largest bone in the proximal
carpal row. The scaphoid has a convex articular surface proximally for
articulation with the radius. The lunate surface is flat. The distal end
of the scaphoid consists of two articulating surfaces. The distolateral
surface is convex and articulates with the trapezoid and trapezium. The
distomedial surface is concave and articulates with the capitate.
