- Place thumb upon the patientâs radial styloid
process (proximal to thumb).
- Then place your index and middle fingers
upon the ulnar styloid process (proximal to
little finger).
- From this position, palpation will proceed in a
linear fashion.

12. Radial Styloid process
ī¨ Truly lateral when hand
is in anatomical position
palm facing anteriorly).
ī¨ During palpation, the
distal trip, note the small
but distinct groove that
can be felt along the
lateral edge.

14. Carpal bones
4/8/2023
TS-2_by_SHAMIMA_2018
14
ī¨ Carpal bones situated in two rows: proximal row and
distal row.
ī¨ The proximal carpal row from the radial to ulnar
contains the scaphoid/ navicular, lunate, triquetrium
and pisiform.
ī¨ The distal carpal row from radial to ulnar is composed
of the trapezium, trapezoid, capitates and hamate.
17. Navicular/ Scaphoid
17
ī¨ The navicular, also known as scaphoid bone,
is situated on the radial side of the carpus.
ī¨ It represents the floor of carpus.
ī¨ Ulnar deviation causes the navicular to slide
out from under the radial styloid process.
18. Traapezium
4/8/2023
TS-2_by_SHAMIMA_2018
18
īĸ The trapezium is located on the radial side of
the carpus where it articulates with the first
metacarpal.
īĸ Move distal to the anatomical snuffbox to
palpate the trapezium/ first metacarpal
articulation.
19. Tubercle of the radius/ Listerâs tubercle
4/8/2023
TS-2_by_SHAMIMA_2018
19
īĸ Listerâs tubercle lies about one-third of the
way across the dorsum of the wrist from
the radial styloid process.
īĸ It feels like a small, longitudinal bony
prominence or nodule.
20. Capitate
20
īĸ As move distal from listerâs tubercle, you will
encounter the base of third metacarpal bone.
īĸ The capitates lies in the distal row in
between the third metacarpal base and the
tubercle of radius.
īĸ When the wrist is in a neutral position, you will
find a small depression in the area of
capitate.
21. Lunate
4/8/2023
TS-2_by_SHAMIMA_2018
21
īĸ The lunate is just proximal to the capitates.
īĸ It is palpable just distal to radial tubercle.
īĸ It is the 2nd most fractured bone at wrist.
īĸ The lunate, capitates and the base of the third
metacarpal are in line with each other.
23. Triquetrium
4/8/2023
TS-2_by_SHAMIMA_2018
23
īĸ The triquetrium lies just distal to the ulnar
styloid process, in the proximal carpal row.
īĸ To facilitate the palpation, the hand must
be radially deviated so that the
triquetrum moves out from under the ulnar
styloid process.
25. Hook of hamate
4/8/2023
TS-2_by_SHAMIMA_2018
25
īĸ The hook of hamate is situated slightly distal and radial
to the pisiform.
īĸ To locate it, place the interphalangeal joint of thumb
upon the pisiform, pointing the tip of your thumb
toward the web space between the patientâs thumb and
index fingers,
īĸ Then rest of the tip of thumb on the palm.
īĸ The hook of the hamate lies directly under your
thumb tip, but since it is buried deep under the layers of
soft tissue
īĸ Then must press firmly to find its rather shallow contour.
27. Wrist: Zones
27
ī¨ Wrist is divided into five (5) zones regarding
soft tissue palpation
ī¤Zone 1: Radial Styloid process
ī¤Zone 2: Lister Tubercle
ī¤Zone 3: Ulnar Styloid Process
ī¤Zone 4: Pisiform
ī¤Zone 5: Palmaris Longus & Carpal Tunnel
28. ContinueâĻ
28
Within the five zone of the wrist, there are-
ī Six dorsal passage ways or tunnels: Which transport the
extensor tendons to the hand
ī Two palmar passage ways or tunnels: Which transport
the nerves, arteries and flexor tendons to the hand.
These tunnels (and the structures within them) are
palpable, and each will be discussed in details under
its respective clinical zones.
