Abstract
Congenital carpal coalition is an uncommon anomaly that results from an incomplete joint cavitation of the primitive carpus. Congenital carpal coalition between the capitate and hamate is generally believed to be asymptomatic and, thus, is usually discovered on radiographs taken for unrelated reasons. We report two cases of congenital carpal coalition (capitate-hamate) associated with pain of the wrist.
