if the wrist is in full flexion how does ext begin
distal carpal row glides posteriorly on the proximal row to neutral which is when capitate and scaphoid become close packed

the distal row and scphoid move on lunate and triquetrium to 45 degrees when scaphoid and lunate lock
during extention the distal carpal row glides posteriorly on the proximal row to neutral which is when capitate and scaphoid become close packed and then the distal row and scphoid move on lunate and triquetrium to 45 degrees when scaphoid and lunate lock.. finallly …
