Aids have been removed from your carpal bones.

The hand is made up of a lot of small bones and joints. Immediately after the forearm is the carpus. 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 is closer to the fingers.

To stabilize bones or parts of bones, various aids can be used. They can be made of metal or plastic, for example.

Long pins have been removed from your carpal bones. Long pins like these are used to stabilize the bone from within. The long nails are inserted through bones and join these bones together. Joints, for example, can be temporarily reinforced like this.
