Scaphoid Fractures- Hand Surgeon Perspective

Carpal Bone Fractures
Carpal fractures represent approximately 18% of all hand fractures, with the scaphoid being the most significant in terms of frequency and clinical complications. Because these bones form the complex, multi-jointed architecture of the wrist, anatomical restoration is critical for maintaining grip strength and range of motion.
