Symptoms of fracture of the hamate bone of the hand

Hook fracture is more common in tennis, golf and baseball players. It is easy to miss diagnosis. Most cases have a history of trauma, and some cases have no symptoms. The damage mechanism is mainly due to the direct impact of the hook, which is caused by the sudden impact of the racket, stick or stick "handle" on the hook when hitting the ball, rather than the muscle.

The main symptom is tenderness on the dorsal side of the wrist, which is equivalent to that on the uncinate bone. On the contrary, the palmar side is not obvious, because there is a thick fat pad. The diagnosis can be made by taking X-ray film of hook tangent position.

After early detection, fixed treatment is better. In the case of late stage fracture with symptoms, the free bone can be removed by operation. At this time, conservative treatment is ineffective.
