Scaphoid Fracture Surgery
Articles and resources for Scaphoid Fracture Surgery in Orthopedic Surgery.
A scaphoid fracture is a break in one of the small bones in the wrist, specifically the scaphoid bone, which is located near the base of the thumb. This type of fracture often occurs due to falls where a person lands on an outstretched hand. It is commonly seen in athletes and active individuals, but can happen to anyone. If a scaphoid fracture does not heal properly, it may lead to complications such as chronic pain or arthritis, making surgery a consideration to promote healing and restore function.
Surgical intervention for a scaphoid fracture typically involves an orthopedic surgeon making an incision to access the fractured bone. The surgeon may use screws or pins to stabilize the bone fragments and promote healing. In some cases, a bone graft may be used to enhance recovery, especially if the fracture is complicated or has not healed with conservative treatment. Patients can expect a hospital stay, followed by a period of immobilization in a cast or splint, and a rehabilitation program to regain wrist strength and mobility.
The benefits of scaphoid fracture surgery include improved healing, reduced pain, and a lower risk of long-term complications compared to non-surgical treatment. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, such as infection, nerve damage, or complications with anesthesia. Additionally, there is a possibility that the fracture may not heal as expected, requiring further treatment. Understanding these factors can help individuals make informed decisions regarding their care.
