    AbstractA US Navy sailor was seen at an emergency department after falling on her outstretched hand. A computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated a comminuted, nondisplaced dorsal hamate fracture. After 8 weeks of cast immobilization, a CT scan revealed no healing and physical therapy was initiated. Following 4 weeks of physical therapy, a third CT scan was performed and demonstrated partial fracture healing without displacement, so physical therapy continued.
