Isolated Treatment of a Comminuted Capitate Fracture: A Case Report.

Methods: Comminuted fractures of the capitate, in the absence of associated carpal injuries, are exceedingly rare. Treatment of this complex injury is not well-documented in the literature. We describe the case of a comminuted capitate fracture that was successfully managed with Kirschner wire fixation.

Conclusions: Based on this case and a review of the literature, management of a comminuted capitate fracture with Kirschner wire fixation can lead to successful treatment and positive patient outcomes.
