Pisiform bone

 

Pisiform bone

The pisiform bone (also called pisiform or pisiforme os or lentiform bone) is a small knobbly, pea-shaped wrist bone.

The pisiform bone is found in the proximal row of the carpus. It is located where the ulna (inner bone of the forearm) joins the carpus (wrist). It articulates only with the triquetral.
