Scaphoid Fracture Anatomy 1B Tasso & Ricky

The Scaphoid Bone The scaphoid bone is one of the eight “carpal bones” of the wrist. The scaphoid is located on the thumb side of the wrist, in the area where the wrist bends. It’s also the most commonly fractured bone in the body.

How you get a Scaphoid Fracture? This is the most common fracture, because it is at the end of the wrist, so all the weight of the fall goes on the scaphoid. Fractures of the scaphoid occur in people of all ages, including children The injury often happens during sports or a car accident. Men aged 20 to 30 years are most likely to experience this injury.

Symptoms Pain and swelling at the base of the thumb It might not be obvious that the scaphoid bone is broken May be mistaken for a sprain.

Treatment Scaphoid Fracture Treatment: There are two ways of treatment for a scaphoid fracture. Surgical: During surgery, metal implants—such as screws and wires—are used to hold the scaphoid in place until the bone is fully healed Non-Surgical: For a fracture near the thumb your doctor will place your arm and hand in a cast. For a fracture near the forearm your doctor might treat this type of fracture with a cast that will include the thumb.

What the treatment looks like. (Left) This x-ray shows a scaphoid fracture fixed in place with a screw. (Right) This x-ray was taken 4 months after surgery. The fracture of the scaphoid is healed.

Complications Part I Non-Union Fracture- It’s a fracture where the bone fails to heal properly because it is not getting enough blood. Since the bones need blood to carry oxygen and nutrients to and from the bone, blood is very important for the healing process. Treatment: If the scaphoid does not heal, your doctor may consider surgery to apply a bone graft.

Complications Part II Avascular Necrosis- Sometimes, the blood supply to one of the fragments is so poor that the piece does not get enough nutrients and the cells in that fragment die. Treatment: A bone graft with its own blood supply (vascularized graft) is the most effective treatment for this condition.

Recovery -Whether your scaphoid fracture requires surgery or not, you will need to wear a cast or splint while the fracture heals. This may be for as long as 6 months Avoid heavy lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, or throwing with the injured arm Do not participate in contact sports Do not climb ladders or trees Avoid activities with a risk of falling onto hand (for example, inline skating, jumping on a trampoline)
