Abstract Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the capitate is extremely rare and leads to chronic wrist pain. Currently, there is no standard treatment protocol for AVN of this wrist bone. Due to the rarity of these cases, limited experience exists regarding treatment methods. This report presents a 30-year-old male patient with AVN of the capitate. The patient was treated with a vascularized bone graft. After one year of follow-up, the symptoms have resolved, and there has been no progression of capitate necrosis.
