background: trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture-dislocation and perilunate dislocations are among uncommon injuries, most commonly seen in young patients due to high energy trauma. the treatment can be achieved either surgically by open reduc tion and internal fixation or closed reduction and casting.   methods: to compare surgical versus non-operative results of treatment of trans-scaphoid peri...

INTRODUCTION Most greater tuberosity humerus fractures can be treated successfully with either surgical or conservative methods and good results can be expected if fracture heals anatomically but a displaced fracture or an improperly reduced fracture can lead to a symptomatic mal-union. CASE PRESENTATION 36years old man with mal-united greater tuberosity fracture presented to us 18 months fol...

Aims, Objectives and Background Scaphoid fractures require early identification to avoid complications such as painful non-union, avascular necrosis, chronic wrist pain. Unfortunately, plain radiographs are insufficiently sensitive so patients may immobilisation further imaging (e.g. MRI) despite normal initial radiographs. The aim of this systematic review was determine which clinical features...

Scaphoid fractures are a common problem encountered in clinical practice. This manuscript provides an algorithm for the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of acute scaphoid fractures.

INTRODUCTION Scaphoid fractures are rare in childhood. Diagnosis is very difficult to establish because carpal bones are not fully ossified. In suspected cases comparative or delayed radiography is used, as well as computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound and bone scintigraphy. Majority of scaphoid fractures are treated conservatively with good results. In case of delayed...

We have assessed the value of using a simple apparatus,the Carpal Box, in patients with suspected scaphoid fracture, to produce elongated and magnified radiographs of the carpus. The interobserver agreement between 60 observers of standard scaphoid radiographs and longitudinal and transverse Carpal Box radiographs (X-CB) was compared in 11 patients. Three-phase bone scanning was used as a compa...

Fractures of the scaphoid are the most common carpal injuries. Suspected scaphoid injuries make up a large part of the work of an accident and emergency department, and unfortunately make up a significant percentage of litigation claims. Initial radiographs cannot always detect fractures while undisplaced and subsequently untreated fractures may give rise to premature carpal collapse and degene...

This is a prospective study evaluating the efficacy of four clinical signs believed to be useful in the diagnosis of scaphoid fracture. Two hundred and fifteen consecutive patients with suspected scaphoid fracture were examined on two separate occasions to evaluate tenderness in the anatomical snuff box (ASB), tenderness over the scaphoid tubercle (ST), pain on longitudinal compression of the t...
