Abstract:
Scaphoid fractures in children are rare injuries. A complete scaphoid waist fracture in a 13-year-old boy after fall on the extended wrist is reported. Following early diagnosis by MRI, the fracture healed uneventful with conservative treatment. The appropriate diagnostic approach and the advantages of MRI for suspected scaphoid fractures in children are discussed.

6.6K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
