Fracture of the hook of hamate is rare in carpal bone fracture, and very difficult to have union due to a characteristic anatomy. By this time, there have been about fifty reports of the fracture of the hook of hamate. Their therapies were removal of the bone fragment as a general rule. Simizu et al had only one case which was healed by conservative therapy. We reported a case which was the united fracture of the hook of the hamate. This case was an eighty year-old-male who fell on the palm in walking. He was diagnosed left hand bruise by a medical practitioner. Two weeks later, he was introduced to our hospital for pain. Carpal tunnel X-ray showed fracture of the hook of hamate. We fused the fracture for four weeks by plaster-bandage applied from forearm to PIP Joint, and four months later, callus formation was observed on X-ray. We thought that this case indicated the possibility of the conservative therapy of the fracture of the hook of hamate.
