Scaphoid Bone

Scaphoid Bone

The Scaphoid Bone is a carpal bone located in the human wrist. In orthopaedics, the scaphoid is of particular significance due to its vulnerability to injury and its essential role in wrist function. Shaped like a boat, the scaphoid is situated on the radial side of the wrist, bridging the proximal and distal rows of carpal bones. Scaphoid fractures are common in orthopaedic practice, often resulting from falls onto an outstretched hand. Due to its limited blood supply, the scaphoid has a potential for delayed union or non-union, making prompt diagnosis and appropriate management crucial. Orthopedic assessments for scaphoid fractures often involve imaging studies like X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs for accurate diagnosis. The scaphoid is integral to wrist stability and motion, participating in flexion, extension, radial, and ulnar deviation. Orthopedic specialists may employ conservative measures such as casting or surgical interventions, like internal fixation, to promote proper healing and prevent long-term complications associated with scaphoid fractures.
