Everything about Trapezium Bone totally explained
The
trapezium bone (
greater multangular bone) is a
carpal bone, in what is commonly referred to as the
wrist.
The trapezium is distinguished by a deep groove on its palmar surface. It is situated at the radial side of the
carpus, between the
scaphoid and the first
metacarpal bone.
The etymology derives from the Greek
trapezion which means "irregular quadrilateral;" literally, "a little table," from
trapeza meaning table. Also, from
tra- "four" and
peza "foot" or "edge."
==pooward; it transmits the tendon of the
Flexor carpi radialis, and is bounded laterally by an oblique ridge. This surface gives origin to the
Opponens pollicis and to the
Abductor and
Flexor pollicis brevis; it also affords attachment to the
transverse carpal ligament.
The
lateral surface is broad and rough, for the attachment of ligaments.
The
medial surface presents two facets; the upper, large and concave, articulates with the
trapezoid; the lower, small and oval, with the base of the
second metacarpal.
