Abstract:
Scaphoid manipulation is an important part of the examination of the wrist. The "scaphoid shift" is a maneuver that is helpful in assessing scaphoid stability and in identifying scaphoid and periscaphoid pathology. The anatomic basis of the maneuver is explained and its performance and interpretation discussed.
