Various patterns of traumatic carpal injury have been described in the literature. Although the combination of scaphoid fracture and scapholunate ligament rupture in the same injury has been reported and these lesions can no longer be considered mutually exclusive, little information is available on management methods and the long-term results of such seemingly paradoxical complex injuries. Thi...

Tenderness in the anatomical snuff box (ASB) has long been accepted as an indicator of a possible scaphoid fracture. The longitudinal axis of the scaphoid lies in an anteroposterior plane, perpendicular to the remainder of the carpal bones, in the radially deviated wrist. The scaphoid tubercle can therefore be easily and accurately palpated on the palmar aspect of the radially deviated wrist. T...

BACKGROUND Scaphoid malunion alters the carpal kinematics and impairs clinical outcome because of pain, weakness, restricted range of motion and predisposing the wrist joint to early osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the scaphoid morphological angles on clinical outcomes in patients with reconstructed scaphoid by non-vascularized bone graft. METHODS Sevent...

background scaphoid fractures are the most common type of carpal fractures. objectives the aim of the study was to compare the diagnostic value of panoramic and conventional radiographs of the wrist in scaphoid fractures. patients and methods the panoramic and conventional radiographs of 122 patients with acute and chronic wrist trauma were studied. the radiographs were analyzed and examined by...

BACKGROUND About 2,000 patients annually incur a fractured scaphoid in Norway. Assessment and diagnosis can be difficult, and fractures are overlooked. Scaphoid fractures have traditionally been cast-immobilised, but for the last decade screw fixing has been used increasingly, and offers hope of a higher healing frequency and improved function. Some scaphoid fractures are not diagnosed in the a...

Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare benign cartilage-forming tumor, counting for 0.5% of all primary bone tumors . The development of Chondromyxoid fibroma in the carpal bones is extremely rare. This article describes a rare case report of Chondromyxoid Fibroma in Scaphoid bone of a 15 year male. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Chondromyxoid fibroma in Scaphoid. The rarity of the lesi...
