title: Movement of the scaphoid in the normal wrist.
abstract: The radiological images of 30 normal wrists in varying degrees of radial and ulnar deviation were analysed by measuring parameters of flexion and translation of the scaphoid bone. Results demonstrated a linear relationship, indicating that movement is consistently either by flexion of the scaphoid, translation or more commonly a combination of the two. The significance of this is discussed. There did not appear to be any age or sex related differences.
