Two cases were seen in elderly patients in which a carpal tunnel syndrome was present in association with an ununited scaphoid fracture. The carpus had remodelled and the lunate was dorsi-flexed.

The two cases were treated surgically by neurolysis and division of the carpal ligament and partial resection of the lunate to restore the normal concavity of the carpus.
