Anatomy 101 – The Lunate Bone (Wrist) The lunate is one of the central carpal bones, sitting in the proximal row of the wrist between the scaphoid and triquetrum, and articulating with the radius. How do you locate it? Clinically, the lunate is found on the dorsal aspect of the wrist, in line with the third metacarpal, just distal to the radius. It becomes easier to palpate with the wrist in slight flexion. Because of its central position and loading role, the lunate is the most commonly disloca
