Red arrows indicating the small ossicle adjacent to the trapezium on the PA and oblique (semi-supinated) views of the wrist.
Case Discussion
An uncommon accessory ossicle, the os trapezium secondarium should not be confused with a fracture of the trapezium, or base of the 1st metacarpal or 2nd metacarpal.
