The trapezoid bone is a bone in the distal row of the carpus; it articulates with the second metacarpal.


The scaphoid bone is the largest bone of the proximal row of the carpus on the radial side, articulating with radius, lunate, capitate, trapzium, and trapezoid.


Please know what you are talking about before you try to be condescending.

scaffoid vs. scaphoid
Subject: scaffoid vs. scaphoid

I was wondering if anybody knew of a good legitimate website or some other source where I can find "scaffoid". In PE's in the Abdomen section they almost always use this word and since "scaphoid" is referring to the scaphoid ossa by process of elimination I assume they're referring to the former, however I'm having a hard time verifying this. I will continue using "scaffoid" unless told otherwise. Also if someone can tell me what it means that would be greatly appreciated too. The one place I found it on a website said it meant, "flat".
