ResumoRapid diagnosis of a scaphoid fracture is important so that proper treatment may be initiated. The high frequencies of nonunion of proximal pole, AVN, and scaphoid fractures warrant the use of special imaging to identify an occult fracture that may cause a long-term disability if not diagnosed. The modalities discussed allow the reader to treat patients in an expeditious and accurate manner.
