Abstract
Capitatum fractures contributes 1% of all carpal bone fractures. Isolated fracture of capitatum is a rare entity which is seen in the literature as case reports. Any delay in diagnosis can cause complications such as nonunion, avascular necrosis, malunion and secondary arthrosis. We present in this paper the early result of the conservative treatment of an isolated nondisplaced capitatum fracture which was diagnosed late and emphasize the importance of the diagnosis and treatment of capitatum fracture.
