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 wrist contains eight bones, roughly aligned in two rows, known as the carpal bones.. Moore 2006, p. 485. The wrist (carpus), the proximal segment of the hand, is a complex of eight carpal bones. The carpus articulates proximally with the forearm at the wrist joint and distally with the five metacarpals.
