Solve exciting clinical cases specific to your field of interest via Docplexus’ clinical case challenge. In this week’s ‘Orthopedic Case Challenge’ , join your fellow doctors to discuss and answer today’s question regarding ‘Comminuted Scaphoid Fracture’. A 58-year-old woman presented with left wrist pain for the past 3 months. She slipped on ice and fell on her wrist 3 months ago but did not seek treatment at that time.
Initially, the wrist was a little sore, but the pain never went away. Anteroposterior, lateral, and scaphoid view X-rays (Image 1, 2, and 3) show a scaphoid fracture with minimal healing noted. The scapholunate angle appears normal. CT shows a comminuted scaphoid fracture that extends from the waist and travels proximally.
