Coalition of trapezoid capitate and metacarpal: a case report

Abstract

Carpal coalition is a rare wrist anomaly. A coalition can be an isolated condition, but it can be observed as a component of a congenital syndrome as well. Carpal coalition is usually asymptomatic and detected incidentally. It is most frequently encountered as lunate-triquetral coalition, followed by capito-hamate coalition. Other coalition types are very rare. In this case report, we present a case in which the patient applied with complaints of pain, and in whom a coalition of capitate-trapezoid- second and third metacarpal was detected.

Özet

Karpal koalisyon nadir görülen el bileği anomalisidir. İzole bir anomali veya sistemik sendromların kompenenti olarak görülebilir. Karpal koalisyon genelde asemptomatiktir ve insidental olarak saptanır. En sık rastlanan tip lunato-trikuetral koalisyondur, bunu kapito-hamate koalisyon takip eder. Diğer koalisyon tipleri oldukça nadirdir. Biz el bileği ağrısı şikayeti ile başvuran kapitatum-trapezoid-2 and 3 metakarpal koalisyonu saptanan olguyu görüntüleme bulguları ile sunmayı amaçladık
