Technically the wrist joint is the one between the ulna and radius and the scaphoid and lunate carpal bones, however this is disputed by many who tend to believe the wrist is the combination of the carpal bones.

The second definition is the intercarpal joints and so it allows for the inversion and eversion movements associated with the wrist and so also allows for circumduction too. Finall suppination is often wrongly associated with the wrist joint. This is not true suppination is the result rearangement of of the relavitve postions of the ulna and radius.
