Abstract
Introduction: Carpal synostosis is a very rare anomaly consisting of fusion of multiple carpal bones diagnosed with other concomitant conditions and reported rarely in literature. Case report: We are reporting a case of complete fracture of shaft of fifth metacarpal with fusion of all four proximal carpel bones and in distal row fusion of trapezoid with trapezium and capitate with hamate. Discussion: Carpal synostosis is congenital anomaly diagnosed incidentally like in our case with fracture of shaft of fifth metacarpal. Conclusion: It is completely asymptomatic rarely require treatment for isolated fusion of carpal bones.
