Asymptomatic 3 Proximal Bones Trapezoid and Trapezium Fusion with Hamate Bone Bossing: A Rare Finding as a Case Report

We report an asymptomatic carpal coalition in a 17 year old male who presented in our outpatient department with an alleged history of fall one day before. He had developed acute pain around the wrist joint following the injury. There was no history of pain in the wrist before the injury. After examination and radiograph revealed the presence of trapezoid and trapezium bony fusion. Carpal coalition of the hand is rare occurrence, which can present as asymptomatic or symptomatic. Carpal coalition can present as bony or membranous. Asymptomatic trapezium trapezoid fusion is reported less in literature.
