Scaphoid Arterial supply: A Review

Scaphoid, the boat-shaped carpal bone, is largely covered by articular cartilage. It has a much more complex arterial supply than previously reported, moreover, this pattern been hypothesized to lead avascular necrosis after fracturesScaphoid blood long documented as scarce; it arises from radial artery giving palmar and dorsal branches. There high-grade evidence reporting two main arteries entering distal half of scaphoid middle lower-grade several scattered over entire anastomosis with intercarpal arteries. Dorsal are slightly larger in diameter many volar ones. The shape associated variations patterns. Scaphoid surgery preserving vascular gold standard. not poor documented, current supports even proximal pole vascularization. We recommend preserve foster research area.
