Scapho-Capitate Ratio for Estimation of Scaphoid Length.

The failure of scaphoid reconstruction by restoring both length and shape may lead to carpal mal-alignment and progressive degenerative arthritis. The aim of our study is to find a reliable method to find out the scaphoid length without measuring the contralateral scaphoid. Three X-ray wrist views were collected for 51 patients without any signs suggesting any hand and wrist fractures.
