چکیده
RS Richards, JH Roth. Scaphoid fractures. Can J Plast Surg 1996;4(3):143-149. Scaphoid fractures are the most common carpal bone fractures and present physicians with many problems. The majority of such fractures (90%) will unite if properly treated; however a scaphoid fracture that goes on to nonunion affects a patient’s working capacity for a long period of time. This paper reviews the pathophysiology of the injury and outlines the diagnostic and treatment options available.

Scaphoid Fractures: A Comparison of Two Surgical Methods for Internal Fixation Using Either Herbert Screws or Multiple Pins
Background and Aims: Scaphoid fractures are the most common fractures of the wrist. This study compared the outcomes of two surgical internal fixation techniques, using either Herbert screws (HS group) or multiple pins (MP group), in the treatment of scaphoid fractures. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 41 patients (23 in HS and 18 in MP groups) with unilateral scaphoid fract...
متن کاملCurrent methods of diagnosis and treatment of scaphoid fractures
Fractures of the scaphoid bone mainly occur in young adults and constitute 2-7% of all fractures. The specific blood supply in combination with the demanding functional requirements can easily lead to disturbed fracture healing. Displaced scaphoid fractures are seen on radiographs. The diagnostic strategy of suspected scaphoid fractures, however, is surrounded by controversy. Bone scintigraphy,...
متن کاملTreatment of scaphoid fractures and nonunions.
Scaphoid fractures are common but present unique challenges because of the particular geometry of the fractures and the tenuous vascular pattern of the scaphoid. Delays in diagnosis and inadequate treatment for acute scaphoid fractures can lead to nonunions and subsequent degenerative wrist arthritis. Improvements in diagnosis, surgical treatment, and implant materials have encouraged a trend t...
متن کاملFractures of the bilateral distal radius and scaphoid: a case report
INTRODUCTION Bilateral fractures of the distal radius and scaphoid are extremely rare injuries. CASE PRESENTATION A patient with bilateral comminuted, displaced distal fractures of the radius and bilateral fractures of the scaphoid was treated via internal fixation of the scaphoid fractures with Herbert screws and internal fixation of the distal radius fractures with locked volar plating. C...
متن کاملOperative management of nonunion scaphoid fracture in children: a case report and literature review.
Scaphoid fractures are uncommon in children, but if maltreated, they can result in nonunion. The authors report a case of left scaphoid nonunion in an 11-year-old boy. The operative management of this pseudarthrosis was performed (K-wire fixation and bone grafting of scaphoid). After a 10-month follow-up period, the left wrist regained a full range of motion with no impairment. The roentgenogra...
