Description
The hook (hamulus) of hamate is the curved anterior projection found at the distal end of the palmar aspect of the bone. It provides origin sites for the flexor digiti minimi brevis and opponens digiti minimi muscles, and attachment sites for the flexor retinaculum of hand and the pisohamate ligament.
The hook of hamate bone contributes to the formation of the wall of the carpal tunnel.
