Scaphoid fracture (broken hand bone)

A fracture is a broken bone. The scaphoid is a bone in the hand at the base of the thumb which links the wrist to the hand. A scaphoid fracture is not always seen on x-ray. If the patient has tenderness at the base of thumb in an area called the anatomic snuff box many times the medical provider will splint the wrist and thumb as if it was fractured. Sometimes surgery is needed to realign the bones and to place a screw or wire to stabilize the bones while they heal. Severe fractures may have an associated tendon, nerve or blood vessel injury.
