Hamate fractures are uncommon, but early and accurate diagnosis is critical to prevent negative outcomes. Hamate fractures may present initially to emergency departments, and diagnosis can be challenging. This case report of a common hamate fracture may aid in increasing emergency advanced practice nurse knowledge to identify these fractures in practice.
