In which ways is the red panda's wrist bone modified?

Pandas possess five digits on the hand but they are oriented such that they perform flexion parallel to one another, similar to how a person's four non-thumb fingers flex and extend in parallel. In the case of the panda, the thumb also flexes parallel to the other four fingers (as opposed to people, in which case the thumb is rotated 90 degrees relative to the other four fingers). This prevents the panda from being able to grasp objects. Instead, the sesamoid bone of the radius (the bone in the forearm closer to the thumb) forms a small shelf in the same orientation and same approximate location as a person's extended thumb. This sesamoid bone is not a true digit in that it has no significant anatomical movement but it still allows the panda to rest the head of a piece of bamboo on the sesamoid bone and flex its five fingers (thumb included) in order to grasp the piece of bamboo.
