Abstract:
Dislocation of the hemate bone is very rare. There is no reported case in Korea. The mechanism of injury may be attributed to direct trauma. We have experiened a case of dislocation of the hamate bone, treated it by open reduction and internal fixation using two Kirschner wires. The result was satisfactory. A case of dislocation of the hamte bone is reported with brief review of literature.
