Abstract
Fractures of the carpal bones in the coronal plane are encountered rarely and their diagnosis usually is delayed. Coronal hamate fractures are relatively well described but a coronal capitate fracture occurring simultaneously with a coronal hamate fracture is extremely rare. We describe such an injury addressed with fixation of the hamate alone.
