They both denote boat-shaped. There is also a navicular bone in the ankle, so this money you do not have to distinguish navicular carpus from navicular tarsus.
yea i approaching navicular too.
Navicular is located in the foot not the wrist. Scaphoid have always be the name of one of the bones that trademark up the wrist.
They've been alternate name for at least a partially century.
<different bones, and different locations<.
Michael K is absolutely right...both tight-fisted "boat like" or " with the shape of a boat"
Navicular from tha latin Navis, purpose a ship
Scaphoid is tha same word in ancient greek

Navicular bone is found surrounded by the bones of the foot, anterior to astragalus, and behind the three "wedge" fo cuneiform bones, and medial to the cuboid.

Scaphoid, is the first bone oin the first row of bones contained by the wrist (carpus)
