Scapho-capitate Syndrome Variant: 180-Degree Rotation of the Proximal Capitate Fragment without Identifiable Scaphoid Fracture

Abstract

Scapho-capitate fractures, also known as Fenton’s Syndrome, occur very rarely. We report a case of a variant capitate fracture with a 180 degree rotation of the proximal fragment and no identifiable scaphoid fracture. Prompt identification of this fracture is necessary to minimize complications such as avascular necrosis
