AI Article Synopsis
- A 27-year-old right-handed man experienced a rare scaphoid waist fracture where the proximal fragment was displaced unusually into the forearm's flexor compartment.
- Urgent surgical intervention involved open reduction and internal fixation with a Herbert screw, leading to successful healing and good wrist function after one year.
- The case highlights the importance of personalized treatment strategies for complex fractures to achieve positive long-term outcomes.
Article Abstract
Case: This case report details the rare presentation of a scaphoid waist fracture in a 27-year-old right-hand-dominant man, with an atypical displacement of the proximal fracture fragment into the flexor compartment of the forearm. Urgent open reduction and internal fixation using a Herbert screw were performed, resulting in fracture union and favorable wrist function at the 1-year follow-up.
Conclusion: This case serves as a reminder that tailored, timely interventions for challenging scaphoid fractures can yield favorable long-term results, underscoring the significance of individualized approaches in fracture management.

Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a common procedure for injuries to this ligament, especially in athletes. There are different types of grafts used, and the choice depends on several factors. Autologous grafts, from the patients themselves, are the most common option, with rapid incorporation and a lower failure rate.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: Distal radius fractures may include difficult-to-treat fractures of the volar ulnar corner, colloquially termed as the "critical corner." These fragments are problematic because they are often missed, and their fixation is difficult. We aimed to compare the distal extent of the exposure of the volar surface of the distal radius between the classic Henry approach and the extended flexor carpi radialis (EFCR) approach.
