Abstract
We report two cases of lunate and triquetral bone fusion presented at our Scarborough General Hospital in Tobago. The purpose of this case is to report anatomical variants of the bones, ligaments, tendons and muscles which are found during the routine imaging of the wrist and hand. Many findings especially changes in the fibrocartilage and the interosseous ligaments are asymptomatic, their incidence is increasing with age, and they are frequently found bilaterally. While bony luno-triquetral coalitions are known to be asymptomatic, fibro-cartilage unions can cause ulnar-sided wrist pain. Unfortunately, no clear biomechanical or developmental explanation is available for this type of carpal coalitions.
