Abstract

Carpal boss is an often painful protuberance located dorsally in the region of the second and third carpometacarpal joints. This protuberance, emanating from juxtaarticular bone or consisting of an accessory ossicle, is often misinterpreted as a ganglion. Twenty-one patients with carpal boss were operated on with acceptable results.
