Abstract

Carpal scaphoid fracture is rare in children and is important to recognize early because of an increased risk for serious complications including non-union, avascular necrosis, and osteoarthritis. In the skeletally immature patient, a scaphoid fracture can easily escape detection due to clinical and diagnostic imaging interpretation errors. We report complete healing of a pediatric scaphoid non-union fracture after a remarkable delay in diagnosis and emphasize the considerable biological potential of the immature skeleton, coupled with proper stabilization, for good clinical outcomes., (© 2021.
