Combined intraarticular fracture of the body and the hook of hamate: an unusual injury pattern

Isolated fractures of the carpal hamate are rare. We describe a case of 28-year-old male patient who sustained a rare pattern of wrist injury: combined intraarticular fracture of the body and the hook of hamate in the non-dominant left hand. The patient was treated with percutaneous pinning of the fracture of hamate body.
