Abstract
Carpal coalition is a rare asymptomatic condition and usually detected incidentally. It may be symptomatic after a trauma and causes pain on the medial part of the wrist. Most often, lunotriquetral coalition is seen. The second frequent one is capitate-hamate coalition. It can be seen as an isolated entity or as a part of a congenital anomaly. Four radiological sub-types have been determined. In this article, we present a 20-year-old male patient with type 2 lunotriquetral coalition diagnosed with left wrist MRI, who was presumed as tendinitis.
