title: [Capitate Non-Union: One of the Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome].
abstract: We report on a carpal tunnel syndrome in a 50-year-old woman, presumably caused in part by a 35-year-old asymptomatic capitate non-union. The carpal tunnel was released and a large exostosis removed. 3 weeks after the operation the patient was free of symptoms.
