Wikipedia
wrist joint
In human anatomy, the wrist is variously defined as (1) the carpus or carpal bones, the complex of eight bones forming the proximal skeletal segment of the hand; (2) the wrist joint or radiocarpal joint, the joint between the radius and the carpus and; (3) the anatomical region surrounding the carpus including the distal parts of the bones of the forearm and the proximal parts of the metacarpus or five metacarpal bones and the series of joints between these bones, thus referred to as wrist joints. This region also includes the carpal tunnel, the anatomical snuff box, bracelet lines, the flexor retinaculum, and the extensor retinaculum. As a consequence of these various definitions, fractures to the carpal bones are referred to as carpal fractures, while fractures such as distal radius fracture are often considered fractures to the wrist.

wrist joint
The wrist joint, also known as the radiocarpal joint, is a complex joint in the human body that provides the connection between the forearm and the hand. It is responsible for the movement and flexibility of the hand and wrist, allowing motions such as bending, rotating, and side-to-side movement. It consists of various small bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles which work together to enable fine motor skills and strength in the hand.
