There have been only 2 reported cases of chondroblastoma involving the cap- itate. This is the first report of chondroblastoma with secondary aneurysmal bone cyst involving the capitate. A 33-year-old man presented with a 3-year history of pain and swelling of the right wrist. Radiography as well as computed tomography Figure: Radiograph showing a lytic lesion in the showed a radiolucent area and no matrix calcification within the capitate. Magnetic capitate. resonance imaging revealed a homogeneous signal that was low on T1-weighted images and high on T2-weighted images and showed only slight enhancement. On the basis of imaging findings, the authors chose excisional biopsy. The bone tumor in the capitate was explored through a dorsal approach by dividing the extensor tendons. After repeated curettages, bone graft substitute using allograft bone was packed into the capitate. Histologically, the authors diagnosed this tumor as a chon- droblastoma with a secondary aneurysmal bone cyst. At the final 2-year follow-up, there was evidence of bone union, full range of motion, and recovery and no evi- dence of recurrence. Although the recurrence of chondroblastoma is occasionally reported, the principal treatment is intralesional curettage and bone graft. High- speed burring, phenol, bone cement, and cryosurgery have been reported to reduce local recurrence. Complete excision of the carpal bone seems to be overtreatment.

Metastases to the upper limbs of the skeleton are extremely uncommon, with only 10–15% occurring in this region. Metastases to the hand and wrist comprise about 0.15% of all hand tumours, and only 0.1% of all metastases. Carpal bone metastases are much rarer than those to the metacarpal and phalangeal bones. They usually masquerade as more common hand pathology such as arthritis or osteomyelitis. Given the bleak prognosis of carpal metastatic disease in lung cancer, treatment of a metastasis to the hand is usually palliative. Contrary to earlier beliefs, palliative radiotherapy plays a significant role in pain relief and improving hand mobility in patients diagnosed with metastatic disease of the hand. We report a case of adenocarcinoma of the lung with metastases to the capitate bone of the carpus treated with palliative radiotherapy.

  • Carpal Boss in Chronic Wrist Pain and Its Association with Partial Osseous
    MUSCULOSKELETAL RADIOLOGY Carpal boss in chronic wrist pain and its association with partial osseous coalition and osteoarthritis ‑ A case report with focus on MRI findings Feng Poh Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Singapore General Hospital, Singapore Address for correspondence: Dr. Feng Poh, Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Singapore General Hospital, Outram Road ‑ 168 751, Singapore. E‑mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The carpal boss is a bony prominence at the dorsal aspect of the 2nd and/or 3rd carpometacarpal joint, which has been linked to various etiologies, including trauma, os styloideum, osteophyte formation, and partial osseous coalition. It may result in symptoms through secondary degeneration, ganglion formation, bursitis, or extensor tendon abnormalities by altered biomechanics of wrist motion. We present a case of symptomatic carpal boss with the finding of a partial osseous coalition at the 2nd carpometacarpal (metacarpal– trapezoid) joint and highlight the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of carpal boss impingement and secondary osteoarthritis. To the best of our knowledge, there is no report in the literature describing the imaging findings of partial osseous coalition and degenerative osteoarthritis in relation to carpal boss. Key words: Carpal boss; carpal coalition; chronic wrist pain; os styloideum; osteoarthritis Introduction A persistent os styloideum is the widely accepted theory behind the carpal boss and has been described as the ninth Carpal boss, also known as “carpe bossu,” is a bony carpal bone.[4,5] It represents an un‑united ossicle over prominence at the dorsal aspect of the 2nd and/or the dorsal aspect of the wrist at the base of the 2nd and 3rd carpometacarpal joint and was first described by Fiolle.[1] 3rd metacarpals.

  • Homologies of the Carpal Bones in Flying Squirrels (Pteromyinae): a Review
    Mammal Study 26: 61-68 (2001) •. R . © the Mammalogical Society of Japan ' ,u" •XCTrc" Homologies of the carpal bones in flying squirrels (Pteromyinae): a review Richard W. Thorington, Jr.1 and Brian J. Stafford2 1 ^Department of Vertebrate Zoology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20560-0108 USA 2Department of Anatomy, Howard University College of Medicine, 520 W Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20059 USA Abstract. The homologies of the carpal bones of flying squirrels, presented by Oshida et al. (2000a, b), are reviewed, together with the evidence supporting traditional homology assessments. Evidence for the homology of the styliform cartilage of flying squirrels with the hypothenar cartilage of other squirrels is also reviewed. Development, articulations, topography, and muscle insertions favor both the traditional hypothesis of homology assess- ments of the carpal bones and also the hypothesis that the styliform cartilage is homologous with the hypothenar cartilage. Key words: carpal homologies, flying squirrels, Pteromyinae, styliform cartilage. In two papers, Oshida et al. (2000a, b) described the styliform cartilage of flying squirrels and suggested that it is homologous with the pisiform bone of other mammals. This is a revolutionary interpretation of the homology of the carpus. It contrasts with the hypothe- sis of Thorington et al. (1998) that the styliform cartilage of flying squirrels is homologous with the hypothenar cartilage of other squirrels. In addition, the homology assessments of Oshida et al. (2000a, b) for all the proximal carpal bones differ fundamentally from the more traditional hypothesis followed by many authors, e.g. Hill (1937), Bryant (1945), Holmgren (1952), Grasse and Dekeyser (1955), Thorington (1984), Thorington et al.

Tel: +98-9128576268, Fax: +98-2161192767, E-mail: [email protected] Received 2016 October 15; Revised 2017 February 15; Accepted 2017 April 24. Abstract Introduction: Isolated fractures of the capitate account for only 0.3% of carpal bones fractures. Case Presentation: We report a motorbike rider, aged 27 years, who was involved in a motorcycle accident. He complained of right wrist pain, and wrist motion was considerably impaired. In the right wrist radiograph and CT scan, we diagnosed an isolated displaced capitate fracture. Open reduction was done under regional anaesthesia. After confirming the guide-wire’s position and reduction of the fracture by imaging, we applied a headless compression screw (HCS, Synthes, Paoli, USA). After 24 months, the patient regained pain-free activity level with 90% of grip strength (in comparison with the contralateral wrist), with extension, flexion, radial deviation, ulnar deviation, supination, and pronation of 75°, 75°, 15°, 30°, 80°, and 80°, respectively. Conclusions: This study suggested that an early diagnosis and open reduction of the displaced fragment in the treatment of such difficult fractures can lead to a successful outcome. Keywords: Capitate Bone, Fracture, Wrist Injuries 1. Introduction found isolated displaced capitate fracture (Figures 1-3).

  • A Simple Method for Bone Age Assessment: the Capitohamate Planimetry
    European Radiology https://doi.org/10.1007/s00330-017-5255-4 PAEDIATRIC A simple method for bone age assessment: the capitohamate planimetry Jung-Ah Choi1 & Young Chul Kim1 & Seon Jeong Min1 & Eun Kyung Khil1 Received: 28 September 2017 /Revised: 4 December 2017 /Accepted: 18 December 2017 # The Author(s) 2018. This article is an open access publication Abstract Objectives To determine if the capitohamate (CH) planimetry could be a reliable indicator of bone age, and to compare it with Greulich-Pyle (GP) method. Methods This retrospective study included 391 children (age, 1–180 months). Two reviewers manually measured the areas of the capitate and hamate on plain radiographs. CH planimetry was defined as the measurement of the sum of areas of the capitate and hamate. Two reviewers independently applied the CH planimetry and GP methods in 109 children whose heights were at the 50th percentile of the growth chart. Results There was a strong positive correlation between chronological age and CH planimetry measurement (right, r = 0.9702; left, r = 0.9709). There was no significant difference in accuracy between CH planimetry (84.39–84.46 %) and the GP method (85.15–87.66 %) (p ≥ 0.0867). The interobserver reproducibility of CH planimetry (precision, 4.42 %; 95 % limits of agreement [LOA], −10.5 to 13.4 months) was greater than that of the GP method (precision, 8.45 %; LOA, −29.5 to 21.1 months). Conclusions CH planimetry may be a reliable method for bone age assessment. Key Points • Bone age assessment is important in the work-up of paediatric endocrine disorders.
