N2 - Two high-level baseball players sustained a hook of hamate fracture while batting and were treated with excision of the fragment. Both players returned to play, and both had repeat fractures through a regenerated hook. This phenomenon of hook of hamate regeneration has not been well described in the literature. In conclusion, hook of hamate regeneration can occur after fracture fragment excision. The incidence and risk of this sequela as well as its association with surgical technique is uncertain.
