Abstract
Volleyball players commonly complain of pain in the hypothenar area. Fatigue fracture of the pisiform bone is suggested as a cause of this sport incapacity. The diagnostic importance of oblique and axial X-ray views of the Wrist is demonstrated. Early treatment by immobilization for 6 weeks usually results in complete functional recovery.Keywords
