Fig. 1 The scaphoid articulates with 5 surrounding bones. It plays a key role in the stability of the wrist and wrist mechanics. International Journal of Surgery Protocols 2018 9, 1-5DOI: (10.1016/j.isjp.2018.04.003) Copyright © 2018 The Authors Terms and Conditions
Fig. 2 Workflow diagram for patients with a scaphoid fracture. A 4D-CT scan during flexion-extension and radioulnar deviation of both wrists is obtained. *Patients are followed up until the scaphoid fragments are united.
