چکیده
Scapho-capitate fracture (Fenton syndrome) is a rare lesion and is even less well-documented in adolescents. The most frequent mechanism is possible forced extension and hyperextension of the wrist. We report a case of 15 years old boy with hyperextension injury to the wrist. The true diagnosis was made 2 weeks later. Treatment involved open reduction and internal fixation with K-wires and Herbert screws. It went on to heal well and at 6 months follow-up, there was no infection or avascular necrosis and wrist function was good.
