The scaphoid performs a unique function as a mechanical link between the carpal rows, interacting with two arcs of oblique ligamentous support for the radiocarpal area. This allows synchronous angulation of the proximal and distal carpal rows and, by virtue of conjunct angulation, adaptive geometric change to encourage radial-ulnar deviation. The distal radio-ulnar joint functions both as the support of the carpus on the ulnar aspect of the joint and as a primary pivot for forearm rotation through a unique anatomic arrangement.
