title: [Surgical treatment of a complex adolescent carpal fracture : A rare injury to the growing skeleton].
abstract: We report the case of a 15-year-old boy with combined fractures of the scaphoid, capitate, and hamate that represents a rare variation of the well-known Fenton's syndrome. Fixation was performed for the unstable fractures of the scaphoid and capitate with the use of cannulated Herbert screws and K‑wires respectively. K‑wires were removed after 6 months, with subsequent physiotherapy. After 6 months, CT confirmed complete consolidation of the two surgically treated carpal fractures and the conservatively treated fracture of the hamate. Regarding function, the patient is able to incorporate the hand into his school-related activities and has a good range of motion, with strong closure of the fist.
