Abstract

Ulnar-sided wrist pain remains a commonly encountered diagnostic challenge, and its successful management requires a comprehensive understanding of the multiple conditions that can present with this symptom. Midcarpal impaction syndromes in the form of Hamato-lunate and Triquetro-hamate impingement have both previously been reported as rare potential causes of ulnar-sided wrist pain. Despite this, they remain poorly recognized and incompletely understood. This article reviews existing literature that describes the diagnosis and management of these clinical entities.
