An abnormally displaced scaphoid fracture: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Scaphoid fractures are generally known to be difficult to diagnose and difficult to heal. In some reports, up to 40% of scaphoid fractures were reported to be missed at initial presentation. Clinical examinations and plain radiographs are generally poor at identifying scaphoid fractures immediately after injury. In this study we report a scaphoid fracture that has no difficulty in diagnosis because of a very strange and abnormal displacement.
