Practice Question

Identify the bone in the diagram below

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Scaphoid bone

Rationale:

✏️ The image highlights the scaphoid bone in green, located on the lateral (thumb) side of the wrist in the proximal row of carpal bones.

✏️ It is one of the most clinically significant carpal bones because it is the most commonly fractured carpal bone, often from a fall on an outstretched hand (FOOSH injury).

✏️ The scaphoid articulates with the radius proximally and plays a key role in wrist stability and motion.

✏️ Its blood supply is tenuous, making fractures prone to avascular necrosis if not managed properly.

✏️ The correct identification of the highlighted bone is the scaphoid bone.
