Name the bones of the wrist
From lateral to medial (look at your left wrist)
Proximal: Scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform
Distal: Trapezium, trapeziod, capatate, hamate

Scaphiod
Dislocation of the lunate may cause
Acute carpal tunnel syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome

Shoulder muscles that form the rotator cuff
SItS
Supraspinatus: abducts arm initially [before deltoid]
