Abstract

3 rare cases of accessory osseous carpal elements are described and compared with similar cases of the literature. Especially a case of a well developed metastyloid bone combined with a parastyloid bone is remarkable. Furthermore a very regressive metastyloid bone and, appearing in another hand, a pisiforme secundarium is described.
