		The distal surface of the hamate, which is concave, articulates with the convex base of the fourth and fifth metacarpals.
		However, the presence of an oblong bony fragment projecting from the dorsal surface of the carpus immediately proximal to the fourth and/or fifth metacarpal bases should be specifically sought in patients with a posterior dislocation of the fourth and/or fifth metacarpals.
		The differential diagnosis of a bone fragment projecting from the dorsal aspect of the carpus should include avulsion fracture of the triquetrum or other carpal bone and fracture of the base of the fourth or fifth metacarpal.

	Wrist Troubles Drain Prospects' Power
		The hamate, a hook-shaped bone in the wrist, is one of eight small bones that give the wrist joint strength and flexibility.
		It owes its shape to its function, which is in part to protect a sheath of tendons, blood vessels and nerves traveling from the arm to the fingers in the hand.
		Trainers aren't sure why the hamate breaks, though some say it's because the handles of today's bats are thinner, or because batters often clutch the knob of the bat.
