Features of intra-hamate vascularity and its possible relationship with avascular risk of hamate fracture

Abstract: Background:The angiography with micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) has been proved its great advantages on investigating the intra-osseous vascularity of carpal bones. But few researches have focused on the intra-hamate vascularity. This study aimed to illustrate the intra-osseous arteries of the hamate and the relationship between the intra-hamate vascularity and the avascular risk of different types of hamate fractures.Methods:Six normal cadaveric hamates were investigated with red lead (Pb3O4) micro-CT an… Show more

“…About 25% of the patients suffer transient ulnar nerve dysfunction (Bansal et al, 2017). The risk of avascular necrosis is high, as the artery supplying the hook can be damaged by soft tissue dissection (Xiao et al, 2019). The advantages of a primary surgical treatment are counterbalanced by the risks of the surgical technique itself, and conservative treatment can thus be considered despite a higher nonunion rate and prolonged immobilization.…”
