The scaphoid bone is one of the carpal bones on the thumb side of the wrist, just above the radius. The bone is important for both motion and stability in the wrist joint. The word "scaphoid" comes from the Greek term for "boat." The scaphoid bone resembles a boat with its relatively long, curved shape.
The scaphoid bone can most easily be identified when your thumb is held in a "hitch-hiking" position. It is located at the base of the hollow made by the thumb tendons. Often referred to as the "anatomic snuffbox," this area is typically the site of tenderness or pain when a fracture occurs. Tenderness over the anatomical snuff box is a very common sign of Scaphoid Fracture .
A scaphoid fracture usually occurs when you fall onto an outstretched hand, with your weight landing on your palm. The injury can also happen during sports activities like cricket or road accidents. Fractures of the scaphoid occur in people of all ages, including children. There are no specific risk factors or diseases that make you more likely to experience a scaphoid fracture. Some studies have shown that using wrist guards during high-energy activities like inline skating and snowboarding can help decrease your chance of breaking a bone around the wrist.Scaphoid fractures usually cause pain and swelling in the anatomic snuffbox and on the thumb side of the wrist. The pain may be severe when you move your thumb or wrist, or when you try to pinch or grasp something.
X ray is first test to be done. To confirm the diagnosis a MRI scan may be done, CT scan may also be ordered to assess the fracture geometry. Undisplaced Fracture can be treated with Scaphoid cast . Displaced fracture is treated with A small Surgical Procedure . Also if there is a non union or AVN , a surgery is needed.
Scaphoid Non Union is very common due to less vascularity which can be disturbed due to Fracture .
