Abstract:
We describe a case of a 12-year-old boy who developed acute ischaemia of the entire scaphoid following simple trauma to the wrist. No fracture was evident; however, MRI and bone scintigraphy at the time of the injury revealed complete ischaemia of the scaphoid. A repeat MRI at 6 months showed evidence of incomplete revascularisation of the scaphoid.
