A rare hamate body fracture with metacarpal dislocation occurred after punching a wall. Surgical treatment was successful, highlighting the need to consider this injury in ulnar-sided hand pain.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Hand Trauma
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Hand injuries, particularly those involving the carpals and metacarpals, require accurate diagnosis for effective treatment.
  • Ulnar-sided hand pain can stem from various etiologies, necessitating a comprehensive differential diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a fracture of the hamate body and dislocation of the ring and little finger metacarpals after punching a brick wall.
  • The injury mechanism involved direct impact to the clenched fist.

Findings:

  • The described injury is a rare combination of hamate body fracture and metacarpal dislocation.
  • Initial presentations of this injury are often missed, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment.

Implications:
