Abstract
Isolated fractures of the trapezoid are very rare. Of all of the fractures of the carpus, the most
common happens for the scaphoid, which represents 68.2% of all carpal fractures. In contrast,
trapezoid fractures represent 0.4% of all carpal injuries. We present a rare case of a trapezoid
fracture associated with a scaphoid fracture that was successfully treated with percutaneous
fixation with a headless cannulated compression screw and the patient had a full functional
recovery.
