Abstract:
A previously unreported radiological sign of a sclerotic margin to an acute displaced scaphoid fracture due to bone compression is reported. This should to be recognized because of the implied bone loss and hence risks of both mal-union and non-union, and because of the implication that volar compression fractures of the scaphoid may occur.
