👉 The term "carpals" refers to the bones of the hand, which are located on each side of the wrist. The carpal bones (also known as the metacarpal bones) are the three main bones that make up the hand and are attached to the wristbone (the distal end of the radius). They provide support for the thumb and forefinger and are involved in movements such as gripping, picking up objects, and moving the arm.
