Hamate injuries have been around for awhile but grew in popularity several years ago when some coach decided to go all pitcher mom and recommended surgery for it before there was a problem. Yeah, remember those crazy parents wanting to put their middle school pitchers under the knife for Tommy John Surgery before they tore a UCL because they thought it would increase their velocity? If I remember correctly, it was a college coach who thought it was a good idea to have the hook of the hamate removed before it caused his players to miss time if it broke.
