| Abstrakt: | Purpose: This review aimed to compare the postoperative outcomes of open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) versus excision in the surgical treatment of hook of hamate fractures. Methods: A systematic review of PubMed and EMBASE databases from 1954 to 2023 was performed using the search term "hook of hamate fracture" to identify all publications regarding the use of ORIF or excision in the treatment of hook of hamate fractures. Outcomes included a return to sport, pain, ulnar nerve dysfunction, flexor tendon dysfunction, union rate, wrist range of motion (ROM; % of contralateral hand), grip strength (% of contralateral hand), and quick disabilities of arm, shoulder, and hand scores. Results: Twenty-seven of the 705 total screened articles were included. Excision of the hook of hamate ( n = 779) resulted in a shorter return to sport time (6 vs 7.8 weeks), lower rates of postoperative pain (6.1% vs 33.3%), higher rates of ulnar nerve sensory dysfunction (4.2% vs 0%), and higher rates of ulnar nerve motor dysfunction (1.5% vs 0%) relative to ORIF ( n = 51). Chronic fractures had a longer return to sport time (7.2 vs 5.7 weeks) relative to nonchronic injuries. Conclusions: Both surgical procedures appear to yield acceptable outcomes in the treatment of hook of hamate fractures. However, based on the sparsity of available data, we are unable to determine a consistent difference between hook of hamate excision and ORIF. Clinical Relevance: To our knowledge, no current consensus on the optimal surgical treatment for hook of hamate fractures exists. Our findings emphasize the need for a large prospective cohort study using standardized outcomes to provide strong evidence as to whether surgical excision or ORIF yields greater outcomes in the treatment of hook of hamate fractures.
