Radiographic signs of hook of hamate fracture: evaluation of diagnostic utility
2019
Objective
Hook of hamate fracture, the most common swing-related wrist fracture, is commonly seen in high-level athletes. The fracture is rarely diagnosed on routine wrist radiographs, thus generally requiring CT or MR for diagnosis. Surgical excision has a high success rate, however diagnostic delay contributes to a high complication rate. Radiographic signs of hook of hamate fracture have been published, but uncertainty of the diagnostic accuracy limits application. The purpose of this study is to determine accuracy and interobserver reliability of radiographic signs of hook of hamate.
