Conservatively treated isolated capitatum fracture: Case report

Kapitatum kırıkları karpal kemik kırıklarının %1'ini oluşturmaktadır. İzole kapitatum kırığı nadir olarak görülür ve literatürde olgu sunumları olarak yer almaktadır. Kapitatum kırıklarının tanısındaki gecikmeler kaynamama, avasküler nekroz ve sekonder artroza neden olabilir. Bu yazımızda tanısında gecikme olan ve konservatif tedavi ettiğimiz bir izole kapitatum kırığının erken dönem sonuçlarını bildirerek nadir görülen bu kırığın tanı ve tedavisinin önemini vurgulamak istedik

Konservatif tedavi edilen bir izole kapitatum kırığı: Olgu sunumu

Capitatum fractures contributes 1% of all carpal bone fractures. Isolated fracture of capitatum is a rare entity which is seen in the literature as case reports. Any delay in diagnosis can cause complications such as nonunion, avascular necrosis, malunion and secondary arthrosis. We present in this paper the early result of the conservative treatment of an isolated nondisplaced capitatum fracture which was diagnosed late and emphasize the importance of the diagnosis and treatment of capitatum fracture.
