Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Radiology
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Pisiform fractures represent a rare carpal bone injury.
  • Diagnosis is often delayed due to subtle presentation and focus on associated injuries.

Observation:

  • This study reviews ten cases of pisiform fractures.
  • Clinical suspicion and specific radiographic views are essential for identification.

Findings:

  • Improper radiographic evaluation is a primary reason for missed pisiform fractures.
  • Delayed diagnosis can lead to significant functional impairment and chronic pain.

Implications:

  • Emphasizes the need for heightened clinical awareness of pisiform fractures.
  • Highlights the importance of targeted radiographic techniques for accurate diagnosis.
  • Informs orthopedic and emergency medicine practices for improved patient outcomes.
