What is trapezoid anatomy?
The trapezoid is shaped like a wedge. The side of the bone that is closest to the back of the hand, referred to as dorsal, is broader than the palm-side of the bone, described as palmar. It is the least frequently injured carpal bone. The structure of the trapezoid places it in a sheltered position.
What type of bone is trapezoid?
The trapezoid bone (lesser multangular bone) is a carpal bone in tetrapods, including humans. It is the smallest bone in the distal row of carpal bones that give structure to the palm of the hand.
Is trapezoid a body part?

What is a traptrapezium fracture?
Trapezium fractures are uncommon carpal bone injuries. They can either occur in isolation or combination with another carpal bony injury.
What is the incidence of a trapezoid fracture?
Resisted wrist flexion will typically aggravate the pain, and there may be associated carpal tunnel syndrome. The trapezoid is one of the smallest carpal bones; it is interposed between the trapezium and the capitate. The incidence of trapezoid fractures is exceedingly rare, occurring in less than 1% of carpal fractures.
How are non displaced fractures of the trapezium diagnosed?
Non displaced fractures can sometimes be occult. A Robert’s AP view, with the hand in full pronation, is a good way of visualizing the trapezium on plain radiographs. If the diagnosis is still in question, a CT or bone scintigraphy could be considered. Trapezial ridge fractures may be overlooked at routine wrist radiography.
Where is the trapezium bone located?
The trapezium bone is located in the hand closest to the base of the thumb. A fracture in the trapezium bone is usually due to a fall with an outstretched hand or an injury to the wrist. Reports may be affected by other conditions and/or medication side effects.
