Abstract

With the exception of the relatively frequent fractures of the scaphoid bone, isolated fractures of individual carpal bones are rare. Because these injuries are uncommon and because of the complex anatomy and function of the carpus, treatment of carpal bone fractures can be challenging. Carpal bone fractures generally occur in young, sports active and professional patients, can be easily overlooked in plain radiographs and are frequently associated with ligamentous instability, neurovascular injuries and tendon lesions. Small posttraumatic alterations of the precisely aligned carpal structure can cause chronic pain and functional impairment. Therefore, if a wrist fracture is suspected a thorough clinical examination and appropriate differentiated imaging is always necessary, at the end of which a fracture can be excluded or an appropriate conservative or surgical treatment is initiated, with the aim of restoration of carpal anatomy and function.
