The authors report one case of recent fracture of the hamate with dorsal dislocation of the fifth metacarpal. This type of lesion is infrequent and may be misdiagnosed unless appropriate radiographs are taken with oblique views. The lesion was not stable after closed reduction and required fixation with a pin through the hamate fracture. The functional result was satisfactory.

A 27-year-old man sustained right ring and little finger proximal interphalangeal joint fracture dislocations. He subsequently underwent bilateral hemi-hamate autograft to treat these intra-articular injuries. The patient was followed periodically and demonstrated return of normal grip strength and radiographic union of the hemi-hamate reconstruction arthroplasties.

Two high-level baseball players sustained a hook of hamate fracture while batting and were treated with excision of the fragment. Both players returned to play, and both had repeat fractures through a regenerated hook. This phenomenon of hook of hamate regeneration has not been well described in the literature.

Background: Hamate body fractures are rare and can be overlooked due to the diagnostic difficulty on X-ray. We focused on the carpometacarpal joint space width (CMC-JSW) and examined the features of this fracture on versatile anteroposterior hand X-ray images, initially taken for hand trauma cases.
Methods: Ten patients (nine males and one female; mean age, 34 years) diagnosed with a hamate body fracture on CT in our facility between January 2013 and October 2023 were included in this study.
