The ulnar corner is complex with many anatomical structures and many potential pathologies. This may render diagnosis and treatment a challenge. Meticulous history taking and examination are required, supplemented, if necessary, by tests such as X-ray, MRI, and arthroscopy. Condition include ECU and FCU tendinopathy; hook of hamate fracture; carpal instability; osteoarthritis of the DRUJ, pisotriquetral joint and lunatehamate joint; degenerative and traumatic lesions of the TFCC; ulnar neuropathy, and hypothenar hammer syndrome. Successful treatment depends on accurate diagnosis; non-operative measures usually suffice but surgical options include excision arthroplasty (e.g. pisiform arthritis), joint replacement (e.g. ulnar head), neurolysis (e.g. ulnar nerve neuropathy), surgical debridement (e.g. TFCC central perforations and lunate–hamate arthritis), and ulnar shortening (ulnocarpal impaction).

Abstract Introduction Hook of hamate fractures are rare. The best treatment option is a source of debate; it ranges from conservative to surgical techniques, including resection of the hook or a volar approach followed by internal fixation. These techniques are not exempt from risk. Minimal invasive fixation using a dorsal percutaneous approach and a headless, cannulated mini screw is another option, although not commonly considered. We present a case series of patients who underwent this surgical technique. Methods This is a retrospective review of four patients with nondisplaced hook of hamate fractures treated with dorsal percutaneous fixation. The evaluation included symptoms, physical examination, and radiological (radiographs, magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], and computed tomography [CT]) findings, as well as pre and postoperative strength (determined with a Jamar (JLW Instruments, Chicago, USA) hydraulic dynamometer) and quick disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (QuickDASH) scores. Results The union rate was 100% with no associated complications. All patients resumed their preinjury activities 3 months after the surgery and reported they would undergo surgery again if needed. Conclusion This retrospective study shows that safe treatment of nondisplaced hook of hamate fractures with percutaneous dorsal fixation is feasible, with excellent clinical outcomes. In any case, our sample is limited, and further studies are required.
