Carpal bone fractures

Carpal bone fractures comprise a range of different fractures which carry varying outcomes. They can involve one or a combination of carpal bones and also be part of fracture-dislocations.

Individual fractures include

• scaphoid fracture: 50-80%
• lunate fracture: 3.9%
• triquetral fracture: ~18%
• pisiform fracture: 1.3%
• trapezium fracture: ~3-5%
• trapezoid fracture: 0.4%
• capitate fracture: 1.9%
• hamate fracture: 1.7%
  • hook of hamate fracture

Fracture dislocations include

• perilunate dislocation: considered most common
• perilunate fracture-dislocation
• transradial styloid perilunate fracture-dislocation
• transcapitate perilunate fracture-dislocation
• transtriquetral perilunate fracture-dislocation
• transulnar styloid perilunate fracture-dislocation
• lunate dislocation
