Editing Scaphoid bone (section)

===Bone===
The palmar surface of the scaphoid is concave, and forming a distal [[tubercle]], giving attachment to the [[Flexor retinaculum of the hand|transverse carpal ligament]]. The proximal surface is triangular, smooth and convex.<ref name=EATHORNE2005>{{cite journal | vauthors = Eathorne SW | title = The wrist: clinical anatomy and physical examination--an update | journal = Primary Care | volume = 32 | issue = 1 | pages = 17–33 | date = March 2005 | pmid = 15831311 | doi = 10.1016/j.pop.2004.11.009 }}</ref> The lateral surface is narrow and gives attachment to the [[radial collateral ligament (wrist)|radial collateral ligament]]. The medial surface has two facets, a flattened semi-lunar facet articulating with the lunate bone, and an inferior concave facet, articulating alongside the lunate with the head of the capitate bone.<ref name="Gray-6b1-4" />

The dorsal surface of the bone is narrow, with a groove running the length of the bone and allowing [[ligament]]s to attach, and the surface facing the fingers (anatomically inferior) is smooth and convex, also triangular, and divided into two parts by a slight ridge.<ref name="Gray-6b1-4" />
