title: Os capitatotrapezoid: a case report.
abstract: A case of fused capitate and trapezoid, the os capitatotrapezoid (OCT), was found in an articulated right hand of a male skeleton. Fusion was almost complete except for shallow grooves demarcating the line of fusion on the proximal and distal aspects. Radiology revealed a normal trabecular pattern and no joint cavity within these fused bones. The styloid process of the third metacarpal was absent.
