Capitate and hamate fracture in a child: the value of MRI imaging

Carpal bone fractures in children are rare, and little is known about the appropriate tools to diagnose them, particularly in toddlers. We present a 2-year-old child with a capitate and hamate fracture. Based on our experiences with this case and on a review of the literature, we discuss the value o...

description Carpal bone fractures in children are rare, and little is known about the appropriate tools to diagnose them, particularly in toddlers. We present a 2-year-old child with a capitate and hamate fracture. Based on our experiences with this case and on a review of the literature, we discuss the value of magnetic resonance imaging in carpal trauma in children.
