Therefore it is recommended and cost-effective to perform immediate CT or MRI in patients with a clinically suspected scaphoid fracture and normal initial radiographs, to assure proper diagnosis and adequate treatment.Wouter H. Mallee MDMaarten J. de Vos MD, PhD...
Bone scan and sagittal projection CT of the scaphoid was performed in 10 patients with clinically suspected scaphoid fractures. The primary and follow-up plain radiographs were negative or equivocal for fracture. CT examination demonstrated scaphoid fracture in 7 patients and normal findings in 3. It...
The use of three-phase bone scintigraphy in patients with normal x-rays of the scaphoid after carpal injury is widely advocated. In this study, 40 patients with negative radiographs but clinically suspected scaphoid fracture, all had rapid bone scintigraphy with images taken 15min after intravenous...

Following early diagnosis by MRI, the fracture healed uneventful with conservative treatment. The appropriate diagnostic approach and the advantages of MRI for suspected scaphoid fractures in children are discussed. Fractures of the carpal scaphoid in children are not common. They account for 0.4% of ...
