Idiopathic avascular necrosis of the scaphoid. A report of two cases.
نویسنده
چکیده
Two cases of idiopathic avascular necrosis of the scaphoid are reported and it is suggested that the aetiology could be the same as that recently described for Keinboeck's disease by Beckenbaugh et al. (1980). The condition described in this paper is a different entity from that described by Preiser (1910), which was probably not an osteochondritis but an undiagnosed fracture.

Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the scaphoid predominantly occurs in the proximal pole. Review of the literature revealed only six cases and all are suspect due to the lack of either MRI investigation or investigation of bleeding preoperatively. We report four new cases and one of them appears to be a real distal pole AVN of the scaphoid in the literature.

Avascular necrosis of the scaphoid following a fracture in children is rare and there is no established treatment protocol in the literature.
