Tóm tắt

Carpal bone fractures in children are rare, and little is known about the appropriate tools to diagnose them, particularly in toddlers. We present a 2-year-old child with a capitate and hamate fracture. Based on our experiences with this case and on a review of the literature, we discuss the value of magnetic resonance imaging in carpal trauma in children.
