	Carpus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Greek mythology, Carpus (Greek: Karpos, "fruit") was a son of Chloris and Zephyrus.
		In tetrapods, the carpus is the cluster of bones in the hand between the radius and ulna and the metacarpus.
		It is one of the four eminences on the front of the carpus to which the transverse carpal ligament of the wrist is attached; the others being the pisiform medially, the oblique ridge of the greater multangular and the tubercle of the navicular laterally.

		In (The mythology of the ancient Greeks) Greek mythology, Carpus "fruit" was a son of (Tufted or perennial or annual grasses having runners: finger grass; windmill grass) Chloris and ((Greek mythology) the god who personified the north wind) Boreas.
		The joint between the radius and ulna and the carpus is called the (A joint between the distal end of the radius and the proximal row of carpal bones) wrist.
		The triangular bone may be distinguished by its pyramidal shape, and by an oval isolated facet for articulation with the pisiform bone.

		Background: The carpus or wrist is a complex joint, which provides abduction and adduction in the frontal plane of the upper extremity, extension and flexion for hand movements, and supination and pronation in the coronal plane.
		The median nerve lies between the flexor carpus radialis and the palmaris longus tendon in the carpal tunnel.
		The carpus comprises the interval between the distal end of the radius and ulna and the proximal end of the metacarpal bones.

		The portion of the carpus that is highlighted in the dorsoproximal-dorsodistal oblique view is determined by the position of the carpus and the angle of the x-ray beam.

		Owing to the anatomical complexity of the carpus, a thorough review of the bony and ligamentous structures of the area is in order before discussion of fracture or dislocation repair.
		The carpus is composed of seven major bony structures: the radial carpal bone, ulnar carpal bone, accessory carpal bone, first carpal bone (I), second carpal bone (II), third carpal bone (III), and fourth carpal bone (IV) (Fig.
		It is rare for the bone to distract proximally away from the carpus; rather, it seems to "hinge" on its dorsal-proximal edge.

		These eight numerals designate the eight bones of the carpus in all six of the present figures, if all were seen on the surface in which the wrist presents itself.
		In the remaining fingers the system is the same as with the index finger, though we have not shown the sesamoid ossicle of the second and third joint.
		The carpus is articulated to these as separate and distinct bones while it articulates with the forearm as to a single bone, so that the bones of the upper row are rightly articulated with each other more closely and intimately than the bones of the lower row, and without the intervention of any body.

		Carpus was hung up to be tortured with iron claws that flayed the skin from his sides.
		Another version of the story relates that Agathonica was simply a woman in the crowd at the death of Carpus and Papylus, who was moved to share in their martyrdom, rather than the sister of the latter (Attwater, Attwater2, Benedictines, Coulson, Farmer, Husenbeth).

	Radial Aplasia and Distraction
		In the presence of tight contracted radial tissues (radial anlage), the principle of gradual distraction of the radial deviated hand-wrist unit is performed.
		After the soft tissues are stretched and lengthened at a slow rate of 0.5-1 mm/day (a rate which simulates intrauterine growth), reduction of the carpus can be atraumatically performed and rebalancing tendon transfers considered without the force and technical difficulties of a one-stage centralization procedure.
		K-wires were used to hold the carpus aligned in one patient and an intramedullary rod was inserted through the long finger metacarpal, capitate, and distal ulna in the other two patients.
