Zero, I know that nails would work perfectly well through both areas. You missed my point, which was that somebody growing up seeing the nails portrayed through the hands wouldn't have gone and made a fake shroud showing them go through the wrists.

From all sources I've seen, even those that say the Shroud is a hoax, they demonstrate that the image details severe beating and the wounds of the thorns. If you were expecting to see the thorns themselves on the image, that's counter-intuitive because Joseph of Arimathea would have removed the crown out of respect for the body. A dead body wouldn't appear swelled due to beating because the fluids would dissipate back into the body after death.
