“…[2][3][4][5]25 Ninety-five percent of these fractures occur in men. 11,26 In a series of 62 patients, the fracture was located at the base and proximal third of the hamate hook in 76 percent, in the mid third in 13 percent, and in the distal third in 11 percent, with 32 percent of fractures being displaced.…”

“…Formula for calculating the recoil energy is E ϭ 1 ⁄ 2(Wr ⁄ 32) (Wb ϫ MV ϩ 4, 700 ϫ Wp ⁄ 7, 000 ϫ Wr) 2 Where E ϭ recoil energy in ft-lb, Wr ϭ weight of gun in pounds, Wb ϭ Weight of shot ϩ wad in grains, MV ϭ muzzle velocity of shot in ft/s, Wp ϭ weight of powder in grains. For example, for a shotgun with 10 gauge, 3.5-in length, 2.25-oz shot, muzzle velocity of 1,210 ft/s, and weight of 10.5 lb the recoil energy would be 62.9 ft-lb (Available at: www.chuckhawks.com/shotgun_recoil_table.htm).…”

“…1 These injuries are common especially among athletes. 1,2 Sports activities most associated with hamulus fractures are golfing and baseball. When hamulus fractures are missed this often leads to the development of nonunion.…”

“…1,2 Due to the popularity of sports involving the use of clubs, rackets, or bats, as golf, tennis, baseball, and hockey, the incidence of stress fractures of the hook appears to increase. [3][4][5][6] More careful assessment of wrist injuries and improved radiographic imaging have added to more frequent detection of this fracture. [7][8][9] Repeated microtrauma to the hook during sports is thought to be responsible for stress fractures, with golf accounting for an estimated one third of this type of injury, typically involving the nondominant hand.…”
