pisiform bone (''os pisiforme'')
The Triangular Bone (os triquetum; cuneiform bone) (Fig. 223).—The triangular bone may be distinguished by its pyramidal shape, and by an oval isolated facet for articulation with the pisiform bone. It is situated at the upper and ulnar side of the carpus. The superior surface presents a medial, rough, non-articular portion, and a lateral convex articular portion which articulates with the triangular articular disk of the wrist. The inferior surface, directed lateralward, is concave, sinuously curved, and smooth for articulation with the hamate. The dorsal surface is rough for the attachment of ligaments. The volar surface presents, on its medial part, an oval facet, for articulation with the pisiform; its lateral part is rough for ligamentous attachment. The lateral surface, the base of the pyramid, is marked by a flat, quadrilateral facet, for articulation with the lunate. The medial surface, the summit of the pyramid, is pointed and roughened, for the attachment of the ulnar collateral ligament of the wrist.   8
Articulations.—The triangular articulates with three bones: the lunate laterally, the pisiform in front, the hamate distally; and with the triangular articular disk which separates it from the lower end of the ulna.

The '''pisiform bone (os pisiforme)''' can be distinguished by its small size, and having a single articular facet. It is pea-shaped and is situated anteriorly to the other  bones of the wrist. Its dorsal surface presents a smooth oval facet, for articulation with the triquetral bone. This facet approaches the superior, but not the inferior border of the bone. The palmar (volar) surface is rounded and rough, giving attachment to the transverse carpal ligament, and to the flexor carpi ulnaris and abductor digiti quinti. The lateral and medial surfaces are also rough, the former being concave, the latter usually convex.

The '''triquetral bone''' (also called '''triquetrum bone''', '''cuneiform bone''', '''pyramidal bone''', '''cubital bone''', '''three-cornered bone''', and '''triangular bone''') is located in the [[wrist]] on the medial side of the proximal row of the [[carpus]] between the [[lunate]] and [[pisiform]] bones.

It is the 3rd most commonly fractured carpal bone.


==etymology==
The triangular bone may be distinguished by its pyramidal shape, and by an oval isolated facet for articulation with the pisiform bone. It is situated at the upper and ulnar side of the carpus. To facilitate its palpation in an exam, the hand must be radially deviated so that the triquetrium moves out from under the ulnar styloid process. The triquetrum may be difficult to find, since it also lies under the pisiform.


The pisiform bone, Latin "os pisiforme", has also been sometimes referred to as the lentiform bone. The word pisiform comes from the Latin pisum meaning pea, while the word lentiform comes form the word lentil.
The etymology derives from the Latin ''triquetrus'' which means "three-cornered."


==Surfaces==
The ''superior surface'' presents a medial, rough, non-articular portion, and a lateral convex articular portion which articulates with the triangular articular disk of the wrist.


The ''inferior surface'', directed lateralward, is concave, sinuously curved, and smooth for articulation with the hamate. The dorsal surface is rough for the attachment of ligaments.


The ''volar surface'' presents, on its medial part, an oval facet, for articulation with the pisiform; its lateral part is rough for ligamentous attachment.


==function==
The ''lateral surface'', the base of the pyramid, is marked by a flat, quadrilateral facet, for articulation with the lunate.


The pisiform bone is usually classified as a [[sesamoid]] bone, although it is atypical in having a facet for articulation with another bone and not being wholly embedded within just one tendon. Sesamoid bones are typically found in places where a tendon passes over a joint, like in the hand, the knee, or the foot. They act to protect the tendon and to increase its mechanical effect. The sesamoid bone acts to hold the tendon a bit further away from the middle of the joint, which increases its leverage. Sesamoid bones also prevent a tendon from flattening against the joint under tension and hence maintain a more consistent leverage throughout the range of possible loads.
The ''medial surface'', the summit of the pyramid, is pointed and roughened, for the attachment of the ulnar collateral ligament of the wrist.
The pisiform bone may provide mechanical stability to the ulnar column of the wrist by preventing triquetral subluxation. So one might assume that surgical excision of the pisiform would cause loss of function to the wrist. However, patients, who have undergone pisiformectomy for pisotriquetral joint dysfunction, experience no significant differences in grip strength, wrist movement, static strength or dynamic power in the long run. Around 75% of patients experience complete relief of symptoms, while the rest continued to have mild discomfort.

'''racquet players's pisiform'''
*[[Bone#Terminology|Bone terminology]]
This is an injury to the wrist involving a chondromalacia (literally "soft cartilage"), or roughening of the articular cartilage, between the pisiform and triquetral bones (the piso-triquetral joint). It is thought to be due to repeated torsional stresses on the piso-triquetral joint by sharp and powerful supination-pronation movements performed by racquet players, especially squash, badminton players, and sometimes golfers, who use a lot of wrist action. Tennis players are less prone as they tend to make strokes using the shoulder.

In anatomy, a sesamoid bone is a bone embedded within a tendon.
Sesamoid bones are typically found in locations where a tendon passes over a joint, such as the hand, knee, and foot. Functionally, they act to protect the tendon and to increase its mechanical effect. The presence of the sesamoid bone holds the tendon slightly further away from the center of the joint and thus increases its moment arm. The sesamoid prevents the tendon from flattening into the joint as the tendon tension increases and therefore also maintains a more consistent moment arm through a variety of possible tendon loads.

The Triangular Bone (os triquetum; cuneiform bone) (Fig. 223).—The triangular bone may be distinguished by its pyramidal shape, and by an oval isolated facet for articulation with the pisiform bone. It is situated at the upper and ulnar side of the carpus. The superior surface presents a medial, rough, non-articular portion, and a lateral convex articular portion which articulates with the triangular articular disk of the wrist. The inferior surface, directed lateralward, is concave, sinuously curved, and smooth for articulation with the hamate. The dorsal surface is rough for the attachment of ligaments. The volar surface presents, on its medial part, an oval facet, for articulation with the pisiform; its lateral part is rough for ligamentous attachment. The lateral surface, the base of the pyramid, is marked by a flat, quadrilateral facet, for articulation with the lunate. The medial surface, the summit of the pyramid, is pointed and roughened, for the attachment of the ulnar collateral ligament of the wrist. 8

Articulations.—The triangular articulates with three bones: the lunate laterally, the pisiform in front, the hamate distally; and with the triangular articular disk which separates it from the lower end of the ulna.

The Triangular Bone (os triquetrum; cuneiform bone)

triquetral

Template:Infobox Bone The triquetral bone (also called triquetrum bone, cuneiform bone, pyramidal bone, cubital bone, three-cornered bone, and triangular bone) is located in the wrist on the medial side of the proximal row of the carpus between the lunate and pisiform bones. It is on the ulnar side of the hand, but does not articulate with the ulna. It connects with the pisiform, hamate, and lunate bones. It is the 3rd most commonly fractured carpal bone.

The triangular bone may be distinguished by its pyramidal shape, and by an oval isolated facet for articulation with the pisiform bone. It is situated at the upper and ulnar side of the carpus. To facilitate its palpation in an exam, the hand must be radially deviated so that the triquetrium moves out from under the ulnar styloid process. The triquetrum may be difficult to find, since it also lies under the pisiform.

The etymology derives from the Latin triquetrus which means "three-cornered."

Surfaces

The superior surface presents a medial, rough, non-articular portion, and a lateral convex articular portion which articulates with the triangular articular disk of the wrist.

The inferior surface, directed lateralward, is concave, sinuously curved, and smooth for articulation with the hamate. The dorsal surface is rough for the attachment of ligaments.

The volar surface presents, on its medial part, an oval facet, for articulation with the pisiform; its lateral part is rough for ligamentous attachment.

The lateral surface, the base of the pyramid, is marked by a flat, quadrilateral facet, for articulation with the lunate.

The medial surface, the summit of the pyramid, is pointed and roughened, for the attachment of the ulnar collateral ligament of the wrist.
