Before I share a super-easy way to remember the bones of the hand, let’s first understand what these bones are?
What are carpals?
Carpals are the cube-shaped short bones that make up the base of the hand and wrist.
The fact that these are short bones means they are as wide as they are long.
Their primary function is to provide support and stability with little to no movement.
Which 8 bones make up the bones of the hand?
There are 8 carpal bones that make up the bones of the hand, they are:
- Scaphoid.
- Lunate.
- Triquetrum.
- Pisiform.
- Hamate.
- Capitate.
- Trapezoid.
- Trapezium.

Starting with the proximal row from the scaphoid towards the pinky (small finger) and then the distal row starting from the hamate towards the thumb.
