Relating to or involving both the astragalus bone and the scaphoid bone, particularly in foot or ankle anatomy.
From astragalus (ankle bone) plus scaphoid (from Greek 'scaphe', boat, meaning boat-shaped) plus -oid (resembling), describing boat-shaped tarsal bones near the ankle bone.
Scaphoid means 'boat-shaped,' and there are scaphoid bones in both your wrist and foot—anatomists named them based on shape, making the body a kind of puzzle where similar shapes repeat!
