• Intra-articular Shearing injury of dorsal (or volar) radial lip.
• Require ortho referral due to high-degree of instability (insertion of Brachioradialis tendon)

• Most commonly # carpal bone (60-70%)• Axial loading 70-100% sensitive (better
than snuff box tenderness)• Evidence suggests below elbow cast
with neutral wrist & thumb free is adequate3
• Refer if >1mm displaced or comminuted• Follow up within 1 week is crucial.

CT vs MRI vs Bone Scan for Scaphoid #
CT vs MRI vs Bone Scan for Scaphoid #
• Radiographs miss 10-20% of scaphoid #
• CT more sensitive and readily available3
• MRI more info re: ligamentous injury but ties up MRI time.
• Bone scan very sensitive (72hrs - 2 weeks) but non-specific3
• High resolution US may be imaging modality of choice in future (Sn100%, Sp98%)

SummarySummary• Clinical Scaphoid CT if can’t
immobilize or cast & f/u bone scan in 3-5 days.4
• Gross reduction of Colles # is adequate to prevent negative sequelae.1
• Stability: Colles > Smith’s > Barton’s• Obtain multiple views and use 11-
22-11 and 3 C’s rules.
