Abstrakt:	There has been no case of simultaneous fracture of the trapezium and the proximal pole of the scaphoid. We have treated a case with this combination. The fracture of the proximal pole of the scaphoid was only found on computed tomography imaging. We performed accurate reduction and fixation of both fractures with cannulated headless compression screws in a minimally invasive technique. We obtained rigid initial fixation and good clinical and radiographical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
