Abstract
A case of fused capitate and trapezoid, the os capitatotrapezoid (OCT), was found in an articulated right hand of a male skeleton. Fusion was almost c omplete except for shallow grooves demarcating the line of fusion on the pr oximal and distal aspects. Radiology revealed a normal trabecular pattern a nd no joint cavity within these fused bones. The styloid process of the thi rd metacarpal was absent.
