Case: We performed computed tomography (CT)-assisted dorsal approach osteosynthesis for stress fractures of the hook of the hamate using the dorsal approach in 3 high school baseball players in the hybrid operating room. Bony union was observed in all patients on CT. All patients were able to play baseball without pain for at least 6 months after surgery. However, refractures were observed in all patients at a mean 9.7 months after surgery.
Conclusion: The indications of osteosynthesis for stress fractures of the hook of the hamate in baseball players should be carefully considered.
