"Carpal coalitions represent a congenital or acquired anomaly; typically, they result from failure of differentiation during embryonic development. However, carpal coalitions may also result from inflammatory arthropathies, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and reactive arthritis 1-3."
"Capitohamate coalitions are visible on radiographs, CTs and MRIs. Although they have been associated with ulnar-sided wrist pain, a comparison of patients with wrist trauma and patients with nontraumatic wrist pain showed that the groups were equally likely to have a coalition, whereas coalitions were less common than in either of these groups in patients with neither trauma nor wrist pain 3,4."
