The os hypolunatum is an accessory ossicle of the wrist seen lying between the scaphoid and lunate carpal bones, lying at the most proximal border of the capitate bone ¹. Due to its position, it should be carefully assessed in clinical context so as not to mistake it for a fracture of an adjacent carpal bone ².
