Main Images

I believe the second image has an error. It shows the pisiform bone on the dorsal side of the hand (posterior in anatomical position). Every other source I can find shows the pisiform on the palmar/ventral/anterior side, including the pisiform page itself. Does anyone know of any reason this image could be right? Can a secondary pisiform form, sesamoid-style, on the dorsal side as pictured? GottaHaveThatXylem (talk) 07:33, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

The carpus article is better than carpal bones, although the later has stuff in it which should not be lost. There needs to be a lot of work on carpal bones too - undating names, merging old name aticles on each bone. Mccready 08:10, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please label which hand this is, or which way is up/down? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/Carpus.svg/250px-Carpus.svg.png —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.0.62.33 (talk) 09:14, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Old Mnemonic

This was used before the names of some of the bones were changed, the scaphoid being known as the navicular, the trapezium and trapezoid as the multangulars (greater and lesser, respectively): "Never lower Tillie's pants. Mother may come home." Kostaki mou (talk) 04:03, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Development

The sentence, "The commencement of ossification for each bone occurs over period like other bones.", is unclear to me. Commencement is momentary and once development commences it will occur over a period of time. Is this sentence trying to communicate that commencement may occur at any moment within a set period of the child's life? If so, perhaps we can improve on the wording.
