AbstractPediatric carpal injury is unusual. Because of its rarity and imaging difficulties, the diagnosis is often delayed. Open reduction is advocated for displaced injuries. Pin fixation provides temporary stabilization of displaced injuries without permanently compromising joint motion. In older children, intercarpal fusion may be elected for treatment of intercarpal instability.
