Two hundred and fifteen consecutive patients with suspected scaphoid fracture were examined on two separate occasions to evaluate tenderness in the anatomical snuff box (ASB), tenderness over the scaphoid tubercle (ST), pain on longitudinal compression of the thumb (LC) and the range of thumb ...
Physical ● Common findings include swelling and tenderness, especially over the anatomic snuffbox of the wrist and the volar scaphoid tubercle ● Maneuvers aiding in diagnosis ⚬ Pain at anatomic snuffbox with pronation of wrist followed by ulnar deviation: 100% negative predictive value, 52% pos...
A scaphoid fracture is any break or crack in the scaphoid. The scaphoid is a small bone in the wrist on the thumb side. A schaphoid fracture usually results from either direct trauma to the wrist in contact athletes, or indirectly from a fall on an outstretched hand and wrist with other...
On extension of the wrist the radius moves towards the line u where its action will be arrested by strong ligaments (c), connecting the radial styloid process and the tubercle of the scaphoid (d). The multanguli bones are arrested at line b, their motion being halted by the dorsal joint...
The palmar surface of the scaphoid is concave, and forming a tubercle, giving attachment tothe transverse carpal ligament. The proximal surface is triangular, smooth and convex, and articulates with the radius and adjacent carpal bones, namely the lunate, capitate, trapezium and trapezoid. ...
A cancellous graft was harvested in the distal radius using a limited dorsal approach around the Lister tubercle or iliac crest. The cancellous bone graft was prepared as chips and packed into the prepared cavity dorsal to where a guide wire and derotational K-wire were inserted to the ...
The patients were examined with three commonly used clinical scaphoid tests; tenderness in the anatomical snuffbox with the wrist in ulnar deviation (3 points), tenderness over the scaphoid tubercle (2 points) and pain upon longitudinal compression of the thumb (1 point). The clinical scaphoid ...
