Abstract

• We reviewed 32 cases of scaphoid fracture, treated from June, 1989 to June, 1994. The average follow up period from operation was 13 months. We analyed clinical result according to fracture classification and method of treatment. Nonsurgical treatment of displaced fracture generall gave poor result.
  In scaphoid fracture associated with complex injury open anatomic reduction and ligament repair was significantly better than conservative treatment.
  In the treasradial-styloid scaphoid fracture, anatomic reuduction and fixation of radial stloid is neccessory. To protect the misplacenlent of hardware, procisional K-wirc fixation and radiological confirmation will be indispellsable.
• Key words: Scaphoid fracture, Carpal
