title: Fractures of the triquetrum.
abstract: The commonest carpal fractures are those of the carpal scaphoid. Triquetral fractures are relatively uncommon, but when present, often go undiagnosed or are misdiagnosed as lunate fractures. Clinical suspicion and careful evaluation of the appropriate radiographs, especially an oblique view, should ensure the diagnosis.
