“…These diagnostic problems may influence our epidemiological result, and according to Barton (3), fractures of the scaphoid seem common because many patients are treated for a fracture to be on the safe side, when in fact there was no fracture. However, most authors are more concerned about missed fractures and non-union of the scaphoid (1,5,9,(20)(21)(22)(23). The initial radiographic examination misses from 2% (19) to 20% (27) of scaphoid fractures.…”

During a three-year period, 330 fractures of the scaphoid were diagnosed, 273 of these in subjects resident in Bergen, Norway. The population at risk was 211719, and 82% of the fractures occurred in male subjects. The mean (range) age was 25 (11-79) years. The annual incidence was 4.3/10000 people. The age-specific incidence for men was highest between the ages of 20-30 years followed by a rapid decrease. The age-specific incidence for men was significantly higher than the corresponding rates for women up to about 50 years of age, whereas the rates for men and women over 60 were similar. Fractures of the scaphoid accounted for about 2% of the total number of fractures in our area, 11% of the hand fractures, and 60% of the carpal fractures.

“…L'étude randomisée de Clay et al [20] montre qu'il n'existe pas de différence significative entre les séries dont le pouce a été immobilisé ou non. Les résultats des travaux expérimentaux [21,22] et cliniques [23,24] concernant l'intérêt d'immobiliser ou non le coude sont totalement contradictoires. Nous restons, pour notre part, fidèles au dogme de la nécessité d'immobiliser le coude et le pouce.…”

“…There are five published randomized controlled trials [25][26][27][28][29] and three published meta-analyses 22,30,31) comparing various types of casts. In these randomized controlled trials, clinical results were compared, for instance, between a long arm cast and a short arm cast, 28) or between a thumb-spica cast and a Colles' cast.…”

Scaphoid Fracture - Overview and Conservative Treatment

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Scaphoid fracture is the most common fracture in carpal bones. Although the reported union rate of conservatively-treated fractures is more than 90%, there is a controversy over the most appropriate treatment. In recent years, many reports have compared the clinical outcomes of conservatively-treated scaphoid fractures with the results of operatively treated ones using randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses. However, there is no consensus regarding the optimal treatment. In this paper, based on literature review, we provide an overview of the management of the acute scaphoid fractures particularly focusing on the issues related to conservative treatment.
