In most other mammalian orders, the carpals and tarsals provide the limbs with regions of flexibility. |
The carpals however interlock to a slight extent, and the corner of the magnum reaches the scaphoid. |
Therefore, one or more unpreserved carpals were probably present, as has been previously suggested. |
The SLIC Screw is designed to maintain the anatomical reduction of the scaphoid and lunate while allowing some rotation between the carpals. |
Metacarpal I oblong, or rather conical, with a lateral enlargement, and situated in line with the distal row of carpals. |
The third segment consists of nine small bones, the carpals of the wrist or the tarsals of the ankle. |
