BACKGROUND Many patients with suspected scaphoid fractures but negative radiographs are immobilized for ≥ 2 weeks and are eventually found to have no fracture. Bone scans are reportedly 99% sensitive for these injuries if done ≥ 72 hours postinjury. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine if early bone scans would allow for shorter cast immobilization periods in patients with sus...
Enchondroma represents a common bone tumor of the hand. The scaphoid is a rare location. We report the case of a scaphoid enchondroma presenting as chronic wrist pain following a relatively minor trauma. The diagnosis was suggested by radiological study and then confirmed by histological study after biopsy. Enucleation and vascularized bone graft with osteosynthesis provided good results. The c...
Introduction Scaphoid fractures are the most common type of hand fracture. Traditionally, non-displaced fractures of the scaphoid have been treated conservatively, with the immobilisation of the hand with a cast; hence, surgical fixation of the fracture has become increasingly popular because of quicker re-mobilisation and return to its original function. However, this was balanced against the ...
Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the scaphoid secondary to corticosteroid use is a rare entity. Previous reports in the literature refer to chronic steroid intake. We report a case secondary to low dose, short term use. AVN has a multifactorial cellular and genetic aetiology and most frequently affects the femoral head. Diagnosis relies on a high index of suspicion and early magnetic resonance (MR) ...
We describe the use of a vascularised periosteal patch onlay graft based on the 1,2 intercompartmental supraretinacular artery in the management of 11 patients (ten men, one woman) with chronic nonunion involving the proximal third of the scaphoid. The mean age of the patients was 31 years (21 to 45) with the dominant hand affected in eight. Six of the patients were smokers and three had underg...
background: the i-space is a radiological imaging system in which computed tomography (ct)-scans can be evaluated as a three dimensional hologram. the aim of this study is to analyze the value of virtual reality (i-space) in diagnosing acute occult scaphoid fractures. methods: a convenient cohort of 24 patients with a ct-scan from prior studies, without a scaphoid fracture on radiograph, yet ...
Despite the high incidence of scaphoid fractures, their diagnosis and treatment is often delayed which can lead to complications such as non-union, avascular necrosis, and future arthritis. We present three cases with non-classical mechanisms of injury, leading to a delayed diagnosis in all three cases. Our cases serve to emphasize the importance of a high index of suspicion for the possibility...
The radiological images of 30 normal wrists in varying degrees of radial and ulnar deviation were analysed by measuring parameters of flexion and translation of the scaphoid bone. Results demonstrated a linear relationship, indicating that movement is consistently either by flexion of the scaphoid, translation or more commonly a combination of the two. The significance of this is discussed. The...
Immobilisation of the thumb is widely believed to be important in the management of fractures of the carpal scaphoid. To assess the need for this, we randomly allocated 392 fresh fractures for treatment by either a forearm gauntlet (Colles') cast, leaving the thumb free, or by a conventional 'scaphoid' plaster incorporating the thumb as far as its interphalangeal joint. In the 292 fractures whi...
Osteoid osteoma is a benign osteoblastic tumor that is unusual in the hand. A location in the carpal bones is infrequent, which leads to errors in diagnosing it because of polymorphism of the clinical symptoms. Reviewing the literature shows that nine cases of osteoid osteoma in the scaphoid have been reported. Here, one case of osteoid osteoma in the scaphoid that was initially treated as De Q...
