Poem on Lunate Bone

ANATOMY AIIMS, GROSS ANATOMY, EMBRYOLOGY, NEUROANATOMY, MICROANATOMY, APPLIED/ CLINICAL ANATOMY Lunate Bone

In the wrist, there sits a bone so round,

The lunate bone, where stability is found,

With facets, four, it sits so serene,

A carpal bone, with features quite keen.

It connects with the radius, proximally so,

And with the capitate, it does bestow,

It's moon-shaped, this bone, as the name suggests,

A vital structure, that must be assessed.

Its medial surface is where the triquetrum does meet,

And the scaphoid, its lateral surface so neat,

It's essential for the wrist's range of motion,

And crucial for the hand's locomotion.

It's a bone with blood supply quite unique,

A branch from the radial artery, it does seek,

The palmar surface, where tendons do glide,

Assisting in movement, with grace and pride.

Its dorsal surface, where ligaments do bind,

Connecting with the radius, with strength that's refined,

The flexor carpi radialis, an attachment so strong,

Aiding in wrist flexion, movements so long.

The lunate bone, a bone of great might,

With features so complex, yet delicate and light,

It's essential for hand and wrist functionality,

A remarkable bone, that deserves our curiosity.
