Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Hamate hook fractures are rare, and mainly occur during sports activities. Its projection is often obscured by other carpal bone in conventional X-ray plain films, so hamate hook fractures are the most easily missed injury in hand surgery. As the incidence of such fractures is too small, it brings some difficulties in the clinical choice of correct and effective treatment. Currently, treatment programs of hamate hook fractures also are not consistent.
