Hamate-pisiform coalition complicated by fracture in a pediatric patient

Coalition of the carpal bones is a relatively uncommon anatomic anomaly. The majority of carpal coalitions occur between the lunate and triquetrum. There are rare reports of coalition involving the hamate and pisiform. We report a case of a previously asymptomatic male who sustained minor trauma and...

Sumario:Coalition of the carpal bones is a relatively uncommon anatomic anomaly. The majority of carpal coalitions occur between the lunate and triquetrum. There are rare reports of coalition involving the hamate and pisiform. We report a case of a previously asymptomatic male who sustained minor trauma and was found to have hamate-pisiform coalition complicated by a minimally displaced pisiform fracture.
