Fractures of the pisiform and hamate bone are both quite rare in professional football. According to the National Football League (NFL) Injury Surveillance System, which includes the last 30 years of play in the NFL, only 1 case of a hamate fracture has been reported, but none of pisiform fractures. The hamate injury occurred to a wide receiver and was a nondisplaced body fracture. It was treated with casting and a playing cast that allowed the player to return to play in 9 days following his injury.
