AbstractThe scapho-capitate syndrome (Fenton syndrome) is so rare that diagnosing is a real challenge to every clinician. Therefore, its primary treatment is not always possible. In this case we are reporting about a delayed open treatment of a Fenton syndrome ten days after the original injury. Open reduction was performed via a dorsal approach and the capitate fracture was stabilized with K-wires and the scaphoid fracture with screw fixation. After postoperative immobilization of the wrist using an external fixator for six weeks the patient was already able to work again only twelve weeks after surgery.
