Where is the scaphoid bone in a human?

The scaphoid bone is located in the human hand. More specifically, it is one of the eight small bones that make up the carpal bones in the wrist. It is situated on the thumb side of the wrist, making it easy to locate. If you hold your hand in a thumbs-up position, the scaphoid bone is located at the base of the hollow made by the thumb tendon. It is the largest bone of the proximal row of wrist bones, its long axis being from above downward, lateralward, and forward.
