Abstract

Fusion of carpal bones a rare and it is extremely rare to have ipsilateral lunotriquetral coalition, pisiform hamate coalition. In this report, we present a case of a 20-year-old male, with an incidental finding of ipsilateral lunotriquetral coalition, pisiform hamate coalition after a fall on outstretched hand. In such cases if a patient is not complaining of any persistent symptoms, we prefer to treat conservatively with no requirement of operative intervention. It is important to be aware of such anomaly to be part of you differential diagnosing and not to mistaken it for other unrelated abnormalities.
