Abstract Fractures of the carpal bones are rarely seen in children, particularly in the first decade of life. Scaphoid fractures are the most common carpal bone injuries seen during this period of life. A 5-year-old boy was referred to our clinic with right hand and wrist pain and massive swelling. The patient showed limited wrist extension and flexion with pain and swelling, but there was no neurovascular damage. Conventional X-ray and CT scans were performed. The CT results in particular showed clear non-displaced capitatum and hamatum fractures, and a short arm cast was applied. At the 18-month follow-up visit, the patient’s fractures were healed with no displacement, and full ROM was achieved with a pain-free motion.
