Fracture of the Body of the Hamate Bone Associated with Compartment Syndrome and Dorsal Decompression of the Carpal TunnelFrom the Royal Infirmary, Huddersfield
Fracture of the body of the hamate is rare. A case is reported where a crushing injury produced disruption of the carpus and a compartment syndrome of wrist and forearm. The median nerve escaped compression by the dorsal decompression produced by the injury. The fracture was fixed with wires and a good recovery followed.
