	Trapezium (bone) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		The superior surface is directed upward and medialward; medially it is smooth, and articulates with the scaphoid; laterally it is rough and continuous with the lateral surface.

		The stem is substantially triangular in its cross-section, and it is slightly bent to correspond to the anatomical shape of the metacarpal canal.
		After properly preparing the bones 52 and 54, in a manner well known to orthopedic surgeons, the prosthetic members 60,62 are attached to the bones 52 and 54 to correctly mimic the anatomical structure of the joint being replaced.
		Bones 52 and 54 will then be enabled to move relative to each other in a manner which will duplicate and mimic their natural rotation around two non-perpendicular and non-intersecting axes of rotation.

	Chapter 25 On the Carpus
		Indeed, where the bones touch each other they are not everywhere rough and uneven or covered with ligaments, but smoothly fitted depressions are carved in all of them, lined with smooth, slippery cartilage, and they receive the tubercles or heads of the other bones, which are likewise smooth and covered with cartilage.
		This fourth carpal bone therefore has the peculiarity that it is joined to only one wrist bone, that it is the smallest of all the bones of the carpus, and is less concave and convex than the rest.
		it enters the depression of the fifth bone; then it is articulated to the seventh by the most slightly protruding capitulum, or rather by a level surface, and it is the smallest bone of the lower row as the seventh is the largest.

		The basal joint is formed by a small wrist bone (trapezium) and the first bone of the thumb (metacarpal).
		In addition, pressing the thumb firmly against the wrist bone while moving the basal joint may also be done to see if there is pain and/or a gritty feeling, which means the bones are rubbing together.
		In the most severe cases, arthroplasty--replacing the arthritic joint surfaces or the entire trapezium with soft tissue from the wrist to stabilize the remaining bone--may be required.

	Trapezoid bone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The trapezoid bone (lesser multangular bone) is a carpal bone in tetrapods, including humans.
		It is the smallest bone in the distal row.
		It may be known by its wedge-shaped form, the broad end of the wedge constituting the dorsal, the narrow end the palmar surface; and by its having four articular facets touching each other, and separated by sharp edges.

		The surface of the trapezium is shaped into a rounded cone that fits into the socket inside the thumb metacarpal.
		A metal pin allows the surgeon to hold the two bones in the correct alignment and prevents the bones from moving too much as they grow together, or fuse.
