Non Diagnositic X-ray
- Discusion:
- tension in palmar radioscaphocapitate ligament leads to displacement of distal pole of scaphoid;
- consider immobilization to relaxe palmar radiocarpal ligaments;
- place wrist in sl radial deviation and slight palmar or neutral flexion;
- initially patients should be placed in long arm cast for 6 weeks;
- time to healing by location:
- times to union increasing for more proximal fractures;
- frx of
distal third heal in approx 6-8 weeks;
-
middle third frx heal in 8-12 weeks;
- frx of
proximal third heal in 12-23 weeks;
