Scaphoid fractures

Scaphoid is a very important bone in the wrist.........its the commonest to get fractured among its cadre.......Mode of injury being a fall on an outstretched hand.......i have come across in a book it comes after "kick back" injury after u start a motor of a throttle pedal.
There will be intense pain especially on movements of the wrist at the base of your thumb in the wrist.
Doctors are often challenged because hairline fractures are often missed.
minor fractures can be treated in plaster cast.......but the period in plaster is longer for this bone!
Fractures that are sever and displaced need surgery........and fixed with a metal . Simple Kwires to staples can be used......Herberts screw hmmm is another option
i have never seen a surgery for scaphoid fracture.
scaphoid fracture treated in plaster yes i think i have seen 3 or 4
