    Author: Kapickis M, Looi KP, Khin-Sze Chong A.
    Journal: Scand J Plast Reconstr Surg Hand Surg; 2005; 39(2):116-9. PubMed ID: 16019741.
    Abstract:
    Fractures of the hamate are rare, and usually associated with athletes. We describe an unusual form of the injury involving fractures of the hook as well as an intra-articular medial facet. It is likely to be a result of high velocity ulnar component of the axial injury. Surgical treatment is advocated to achieve accurate reduction and apposition of the fifth carpometacarpal joint.
