Hamate (Figure 13.15) The hamate is the carpal bone with the hamulus (Figure 13.15) or hook-shaped, nonarticular projection on the palmar surface. This projection is the fourth attachment point for the flexor retinaculum. â¢
There are a few options for treatment of fractures of the hook of the hamate. Use of a cast to immobilize the broken bone can sometimes be effective, but the results are not reliable. Healing of the fracture may not occur, and patients are likely to need further treatment. Repair of the fracture is generally avoiding.
