Symptomatic Congenital Coalition of the Pisiform and Hamate – A Case Report

We describe a 13-year-old boy with piso-hamate coalition confirmed by X-ray. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed type 1 coalition according to the classification of DeVilliers Minnaar. Piso-hamate coalition is rare, and suspicions should be raised in instances of chronic ulnar-sided wrist pain, particularly in individuals with a history of elevated hand usage, especially amongst athletes engaging in intensive hand grip activities. Surgical resection of the synchondrosis site between the pisiform and the hamate is an efficacious intervention that can mitigate pain. <b>Level of Evidence:</b> Level V (Therapeutic).

Abstract

We describe a 13-year-old boy with piso-hamate coalition confirmed by X-ray. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed type 1 coalition according to the classification of DeVilliers Minnaar. Piso-hamate coalition is rare, and suspicions should be raised in instances of chronic ulnar-sided wrist pain, particularly in individuals with a history of elevated hand usage, especially amongst athletes engaging in intensive hand grip activities. Surgical resection of the synchondrosis site between the pisiform and the hamate is an efficacious intervention that can mitigate pain. <b>Level of Evidence:</b> Level V (Therapeutic).
