Outcome of follow-up computed tomography of suspected occult scaphoid fracture after normal radiography.
Emerg Radiol
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedics, Institute of Clinical Sciences, Lund University, Lund, Sweden.
Purpose: To evaluate the rate of missed scaphoid fractures on follow-up computed tomography (CT) for suspected occult scaphoid fracture after normal radiography with residual radial-sided wrist pain.
Methods: In a retrospective analysis, wrist CT during a five-year period was analyzed. The CT examinations and radiological reports were re-evaluated.
Pediatric Scaphoid Nonunions: Does Insurance Status Play a Role?
J Pediatr Orthop
February 2025
Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, Akron Children's Hospital, Columbus, OH.
Objective: There are no studies that evaluate the effects that insurance or socioeconomic status may have on treatment and outcomes of scaphoid nonunions in children. We evaluated whether there is an association between insurance status and (1) time from injury to hand surgeon evaluation, (2) time from specialist evaluation to surgery, and (3) postoperative outcomes of scaphoid fracture nonunions in children.
Methods: A chart review was performed for patients who underwent surgical treatment of scaphoid fracture nonunion from January 2015 and April 2021 at a large tertiary care pediatric hospital.
Introduction: The goal of this work is to determine, using the analysis of our own patient group and current professional publications, in which cases fractures of the scaphoid waist can be treated conservatively by short-term plaster fixation with a low risk of non-union developing.
Material And Method: A group of 19 patients (17 men and 2 women) with the mean age 31 years (range 20-43, SD 7.3) with fractures of scaphoid waist were indicated for conservative treatment.
Kinesiophobia, catastrophizing, and the duration of immobilization: A prospective study on factors associated with shoulder disability following wrist-hand injuries.
J Hand Ther
January 2025
School of Occupational Therapy, Touro University, Henderson, NV 33204, USA.
Background: Shoulder pain is a major musculoskeletal problem after wrist-hand immobilization. There is limited evidence regarding the relationship of kinesiophobia or pain catastrophizing with shoulder pain and disability after wrist-hand injury.
Purpose: To explore associations between kinesiophobia and pain catastrophizing with ipsilateral persistent shoulder disability in patients with wrist-hand injury after 6 months.
The elusive bipartite scaphoid: a rare congenital variant or misdiagnosed pseudoarthrosis? A proposal for novel radiological criteria.

Variations in the development of carpal bones are uncommon, with the scaphoid bone typically forming from the fusion of the os centrale carpi and the radial chondrification center during embryogenesis. A bipartite scaphoid is a rare congenital disorder that occurs when these ossification centers fail to fuse, with a prevalence ranging from 0.1% to 0.
