Abstract :

Case: Fractures of capitate are rare injuries, often associated with high-impact injuries. There is no definitive treatment protocol for management of these fractures. They are often missed, neglected or treated conservatively leading to complications. We report a case of fracture of the capitate with triquetrum.

Conclusion: We report this case for the uniqueness of fracture and its managemen
