“…86 Osteoblastomas of the hamate have a tendency to recur after curettage and can be treated with total excision and carpal fusion involving either a vascularized iliac free flap 87 or a fifth carpometacarpal (CMC) arthrodesis. 88 Both techniques provide positive functional outcomes with no osteoblastoma recurrence at the 3- and 4-year follow-up, respectively. Daly et al reported a case of an unusual mass in the hand causing ulnar and median nerve compression treated with hamate excision and confirmed as chondroblastoma on pathology.…”

Various pathologies of the adult carpus result in clinical scenarios where excision can be considered and even recommended. In the appropriate patient population, isolated carpal excision can alleviate pain and improve mobility. Excisions of the pisiform, trapezium, and trapezoid have abundant literature evidence to support positive long-term functional outcomes. In contrast, isolated excision of the capitate, hamate, and triquetrum has limited support in the literature secondary to compromise of carpal mechanics and lead to recurrent pain. Additionally, isolated scaphoid and lunate excision are best avoided secondary to carpal collapse and should be paired with concomitant stabilizing procedures in the carpus. This article provides a comprehensive literature review of isolated excision of each osseous carpal bone, their indications, and previously assessed outcomes.

Excision of the Hamate for an Unusual Hand Tumour

A right-handed man with an enlarging bony swelling of his dominant hand developed symptoms of median and ulnar nerve compression. He underwent simple excision of the hamate and histology showed the lesion to be a benign chondroblastoma. At 2-year follow-up he was found to be doing a heavy manual job with no functional problems and there were no signs of recurrence of the tumour. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of a benign hand tumour treated by simple excision of the hamate.
