The radiocarpal joint is a synovial joint thatâs also found in the wrist. The radius articulates with the first row of carpal bones, except for the pisiform. It has a fibrous joint capsule thatâs attached to that distal end of the radius and the ulna and to the carpal bones.
Close look on a broken wrist. The wrist joint is the connection of the forearm with the hand. The joint is shaped by the 2 forearm bones (radius and ulna) which join together with the small bones of the wrist. Essentially, when describing a wrist fracture, it is an injury to the end of the radius bone. Nevertheless, a wrist fracture can be utilized to describe other types of fractures such as to the scaphoid, distal ulna and other injuries that occurs around the wrist joint.
