Summary

Nonunion of the hamate hook, often from athletic injuries, requires CT scan diagnosis. Surgical treatment yields good to very good results for most athletes, though some cases may have fair outcomes or surgical failure.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Hand Surgery

Background:

  • Nonunion of the hamate hook is a recognized injury, particularly in athletes.
  • Delayed diagnosis is common, impacting treatment outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of CT scanning for hamate hook nonunion.
  • To assess the outcomes of surgical treatment for hamate hook nonunion in athletes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of ten cases of hamate hook nonunion.
  • Diagnosis confirmed primarily by CT scanning.
  • All cases treated surgically by the same surgeon using a consistent technique.

Main Results:

  • CT scanning proved effective for diagnosis.
  • Surgical treatment resulted in very good outcomes for six patients and good outcomes for two.
  • One patient experienced a fair result with pain resolution, while one case failed due to persistent pain and ulnar paralysis.

Conclusions:

  • CT scanning is the preferred diagnostic modality for hamate hook nonunion.
  • Surgical intervention offers a high success rate for athletes returning to sport.
  • Ulnar paralysis is a potential complication, highlighting the need for careful surgical technique.
