What bone is broken most?

If one is talking about a single bone, statistically speaking the most commonly broken bone in the body is the clavicle, commonly referred to as the collar bone.The most common fractures in people under 75 are wrist fractures, but the wrist is not made up of a single bone, but of 8 carpal bones. After age 75, hip fractures become the most common, but this makes up only a small percentage of the population.See the related weblink below for verification, and the reasons why this is the most commonly broken bone for both children and adults.


What is the smallest carpal bone?

The smallest carpal bone is the pisiform, located on the palmar side of the wrist. It is a sesamoid bone, meaning it develops within a tendon. It is typically the smallest and pea-shaped among the carpal bones.


What is the most frequently broken bone during birth?

The most frequently broken bone during birth is the clavicle, also known as the collarbone. This bone can sometimes fracture due to the pressure exerted during delivery, especially if the baby is in a difficult position. However, clavicle fractures typically heal well and do not usually cause long-term problems for the baby.


What is the most frequently broken wrist bone?

The most frequently broken wrist bone is the distal radius, which is the larger of the two forearm bones located on the same side as the thumb. Fractures of the distal radius are commonly known as Colles' fractures.


What forarm bone articulates with most of the carpals?

Which carpal bone can be palpated as a projection distal to the styloid process of the ulna?

The styloid process of the Ulna (one of the bones of the forearm) is where the Ulna connects to the ligament of the wrist joint. The Triquetrum, Lunate and Pisiform carpal bones all lie distal to this. However the carpal bone most easily palpable is the Pisiform bone.
