Plural of hamate; multiple hamate bones or hook-shaped anatomical structures, though typically there is only one hamate bone per hand.
Simple plural of hamate, formed by adding the standard English plural suffix -s to the Latin-derived singular form.
While 'hamates' is the grammatically correct plural, in actual medical practice you almost never see it used because each wrist has only one hamate bone—it's like having a plural for 'spine'!
