Özet
Trapezoid bone fracture is the least common fracture owing to the fact that it is strictly bounded to scaphoid, capitate and the base of the second metacarpal. Isolated fractures are rarely seen and usually related to the high energy trauma. It is conservatively treated without dislocation. Triquetrum fractures are the second least common fractures among carpal bones. The body fractures are usually caused by a fall onto an open flexed hand. Non-displaced fractures can be treated conservatively. Our aim is to remind those rare fractures of the carpal bones that accompany the wrist trauma, which can require additional radiological studies.
