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.
The most common bone to break or fracture in the wrist is the end of the radius bone, called the âdistal radius.â There is an area within the distal radius bone which is naturally weaker than the surrounding structures, making it more susceptible to fracture.
