The scaphoid bone is one of eight carpal bones in the hand, it’s located on the thumb side of the wrist above the radius. The bone is important for both motion and stability in the wrist joint. A scaphoid fracture is characterized by breaks in either in the mid-portion, called the waist, proximal and distal ends of the bone. Scaphoid fractures can be divided into non-displaced and displaced fractures. Complications of scaphoid fracture are non-union and avascular necrosis where blood supply is compromised which can impact healing process . Treatment can range from casting/splinting to bone stimulator, to surgical treatment like internal reduction and bone graft. Symptoms include but not limited to swelling, tenderness, inability to move hand/wrist, significant limitation in range of motion, weakness, inability to lift objects. Diagnosis is made via examination, history taking and x-rays.
