&Scaphoid Fracture=Scaphoid fractures are by far the most common of the carpal fractures. Fractures of the scaphoid can occur either with direct axial compression or with hyperextension of the wrist such as a fall on the outstretched hand. Pain is localized to the radial aspect of the wrist and classically in the anatomic snuffbox. Swelling may or may not be noticeable, but if present, is usually on the dorsoradial aspect of the wrist. Range of motion may be only slightly reduced unless there is a concomitant fracture dislocation. Grip strength is typically reduced. On palpation pain is typically in one of three places.
