title: Simultaneous dislocation of the scaphoid and hamate bones.
abstract: We report a rare case of simultaneous dislocations of the hamate and scaphoid in an 18-year-old boy. Despite the extensive damage to the wrist joint, the functional results of open reduction and suture of intercarpal ligaments have been satisfactory, without carpal instability and degenerative osteoarthritis.
