Operations on other bones: Excision and resection of diseased bone tissue: Partial resection with soft tissue resection: Carpals

You have had altered bone tissue removed from one or more of your carpal bones.

The hand is made up of a lot of small bones and joints. The hand can be divided into 3 sections. The wrist (carpus) is directly connected to the forearm. Then comes the metacarpus and then the individual fingers. The carpus consists of 8 carpal bones. There are 2 rows of them. The lower row is closer to the wrist. The upper row (of bones) is towards the fingers.

There are various soft tissues around the carpal bones. Soft tissue includes muscles, fatty tissue and connective tissue, for example. In addition to the altered bone tissue, you also had soft tissue from the area surrounding the carpal bones removed.
