Video Summary
The wrist is a complex joint that connects the hand to the forearm. It consists of the radiocarpal joint found between the radius and the proximal row of the carpal bones except for the pisiform; and the intercarpal joints, which are small joints among the carpals.
Joints of the hand include carpometacarpal joints found between the carpals and the metacarpals; the intermetacarpal joints among the metacarpals themselves; the metacarpophalangeal joints between the metacarpals and the proximal phalanges; and finally, the interphalangeal joints found between the proximal phalanges and the middle or distal phalanges.
