Abstract
The functional role of the scaphoid in stabilising the wrist joint is discussed and the literature on scaphoid dislocations reviewed.
A case of isolated dislocation of the scaphoid has been presented with the salient diagnostic features and preferred line of management which includes percutaneous Kirschner-wire fixation to ensure maintenance of the reduction.
