	The '''triquetral bone''', also known as the '''triquetrum~~''', '''triangular bone''', or '''cuneiform bone~~''', is one of the eight [[carpal bones]] of the [[wrist]]. It is situated on the ~~medial~~ side of the proximal row of the ~~carpus~~, ~~between the~~ [[lunate bone]] and ~~the~~ [[pisiform bone]].		The '''triquetral bone''', also known as the '''os triquetrum''', is one of the eight [[carpal bones]] of the wrist. It is situated on the ulnar side of the wrist, proximal to the [[pisiform bone]] and distal to the [[ulna]]. The triquetral bone is part of the proximal row of carpal bones, which also includes the [[scaphoid bone]], [[lunate bone]], and [[pisiform bone]].

	== Anatomy ==		==Anatomy==
	The triquetral bone is a ~~three~~-~~sided~~ bone that ~~articulates with three other carpal bones: the [[lunate bone]], the [[pisiform bone]], and the [[hamate bone]]. It~~ is located in the proximal row of the carpus~~, which~~ is the ~~row closest to~~ the ~~forearm. The bone has a pyramidal shape~~ and ~~is characterized by its three distinct surfaces~~.		The triquetral bone is a pyramidal-shaped bone that is located in the proximal row of the carpus. It is the third most commonly fractured carpal bone, following the scaphoid and lunate bones.

	=== Surfaces ===		===Surfaces===
	* The ~~superior surface articulates with the [[ulna]] via the [[triangular fibrocartilage complex]] (TFCC).~~		The triquetral bone has several distinct surfaces:
	* The inferior surface articulates with the [[hamate bone]].
	* The lateral surface articulates with the [[lunate bone]].
	* The anterior surface articulates with the [[pisiform bone~~]].~~

	~~== Function ==~~		* '''Dorsal surface''': This surface is rough and serves as an attachment point for ligaments.
	~~The triquetral bone plays a crucial role in the complex movements of the wrist. It contributes to the stability~~ and ~~flexibility of the wrist joint, allowing for a wide range of motion. The bone also~~ serves as an attachment point for ~~various~~ ligaments ~~that support~~ the ~~wrist~~.		* '''Palmar surface''': This surface is also rough and provides attachment for the [[pisohamate ligament]].
			* '''Lateral surface''': This surface articulates with the [[lunate bone]].
			* '''Medial surface''': This surface articulates with the [[pisiform bone]].
			* '''Distal surface''': This surface articulates with the [[hamate bone]].

	== ~~Clinical Significance~~ ==		===Articulations===
	~~Injuries to the triquetral bone are relatively uncommon but can occur due to trauma, such as a fall on an outstretched hand. Fractures of the~~ triquetral bone ~~can lead to pain, swelling, and limited motion in the wrist. Diagnosis is typically confirmed through imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI.~~		The triquetral bone articulates with three other carpal bones:

			* The [[pisiform bone]] anteriorly.
			* The [[hamate bone]] distally.

			==Function==
			The triquetral bone plays a crucial role in the complex movements of the wrist. It contributes to the stability and flexibility of the wrist joint, allowing for a wide range of motion. The bone also serves as an attachment point for ligaments that stabilize the carpal bones.

			==Clinical significance==

			===Fractures===
			Triquetral fractures are relatively uncommon but can occur due to direct trauma or falls on an outstretched hand. These fractures are often associated with injuries to other carpal bones or ligaments.

			===Triquetral impingement===
			Triquetral impingement can occur when the bone is compressed between the ulna and the carpal bones, leading to pain and limited motion.

			==Development==
			The triquetral bone ossifies from a single center, which appears between the ages of 9 and 12 years. It is one of the last carpal bones to ossify.

			==Etymology==
			The name "triquetral" is derived from the Latin word "triquetrus," meaning "three-cornered," which reflects the bone's pyramidal shape.

== Anatomy ==
The triquetral bone is a three-sided bone that articulates with three other carpal bones: the [[lunate bone]], the [[pisiform bone]], and the [[hamate bone]]. It is located in the proximal row of the carpus, which is the row closest to the forearm. The bone has a pyramidal shape and is characterized by its three distinct surfaces.

* The superior surface articulates with the [[ulna]] via the [[triangular fibrocartilage complex]] (TFCC).
* The inferior surface articulates with the [[hamate bone]].
