The scaphoid is one of the carpal bones in the wrist, playing a crucial role in wrist stability and mobility. It helps facilitate the movement of the wrist joint by acting as a crucial link between the forearm and the hand. Due to its position, it is also involved in weight-bearing during activities such as gripping and lifting. Additionally, the scaphoid has a unique blood supply, making it susceptible to avascular necrosis if fractured.
