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. The wrist, along with the shoulder girdle and the elbow, is one of the three, chained mechanisms that comprise the upper limb. Among the most complex joints in the body, the wrist is the flexible, narrow connection between the forearm and the hand. It has eight bones called carpal bones, which are arranged in two rows of four - the proximal row sits near the crease of the wrist and the distal row sits closer to the fingers.
