| The trapezoid and the os magnum of the carpus are united, while in Choloepus they are perfectly distinct bones. |
| In the former, the most common causes of lameness in treated cows were lesions of the carpus and tarsus, followed by interdigital swelling. |
| Both hands were amputated just distal to the carpus, leaving three metacarpal stumps on the right hand and a vestige of one metacarpal on the left hand. |
| In the carpus a centrale is present, and the scaphoid and lunar are separate. |
| Indeed, the carpus and base of metacarpus appear to be thrown backward so much, as on first view to excite a suspicion that the carpus has been dislocated. |
| It may join the radial artery at the wrist, or if the radial stops short of the carpus the posterior interosseous artery may replace it. |
