Scaphoid Fracture

Scaphoid fractures accounts for about 60% of all carpal bone fractures and 11 % of all hand injuries [1]. It acts as the link between the proximal and distal row of carpus and thus pays a pivotal role in wrist biomechanics. Its unique anatomy, precarious blood supply and intra-articular nature, makes the treatment of this fracture a challenge for the treating physician. Theoretically, undisplaced scaphoid fractures have been treated with immobilization and plaster cast application. However, displaced fractures are usually treated with either closed reduction or open reduction internal fixation with screw [2,3]. The incidence of non-union, especially in fractures with more than 1mm displacement can be between 53% and 92% [3,4]. Treatment of
