Prevention

Grip and Swing Modification: Avoid "over-cocking" the wrist in the backswing and ensure the grip size is correct for the hand to minimize strain on the wrist tendons13.

Acute Treatment

Rest and Splinting: Use a custom orthosis (splint) to rest the tendons, followed by anti-inflammatory medication and/or corticosteroid injections14.

Surgical Note

Fractures of the hook of the hamate frequently require surgical excision due to poor blood supply and the risk of chronic pain15.
