What is the carpal bone that upon dislocation can get into carpal tunnel and damage the Median N? Also, what structures go through the Snuff Box?

When you have a patient that comes in with classic carpal tunnel symptons, check to see what watch and bracelets this person might wear. They do press on the nerve and cause the exact same symptoms. This is a patient experience and something that has surprised residents in my program......
