Carpal bone defects are common incidental findings. Management ranges from surveillance for asymptomatic cases to surgical filling-excision for symptomatic or fractured defects, with generally good prognoses.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Carpal bone defects are frequently discovered incidentally via radiography.
  • The scaphoid, lunatum, and hamatum are the most commonly affected carpal bones.
  • Defects can be bilateral and may present with pain or, rarely, pathological fractures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the management options for carpal bone defects.
  • To discuss the etiology and differential diagnoses of carpal bone defects.
  • To provide guidance on treatment based on clinical presentation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of carpal bone defects.
  • Analysis of diagnostic findings and etiological theories.
  • Evaluation of management strategies and prognoses.

Main Results:

  • Common differential diagnoses include osteonecrosis, subchondral defects in dialysis patients, and arthropathies.
  • Etiologies proposed include synovial tissue penetration and in situ bone metaplasia.
  • Treatment recommendations vary from surveillance to surgical intervention (filling-excision).

Conclusions:

  • Asymptomatic carpal bone defects typically require only surveillance.
  • Symptomatic defects, particularly those with swelling or fracture, warrant surgical management.
  • The prognosis for carpal bone defects is generally favorable with exceptional recurrence rates.
