Abstract:
We report a case of a nonunion of a carpal scaphoid in a child treated successfully by cast immobilization. Contrary to the general opinion that nonunion of the scaphoid bone should be treated operatively, even in children, we showed that healing can be obtained by nonoperative treatment methods.
