Abstract

The diagnosis of a scaphoid fracture, especially in the differentiation of a fresh fracture, the nonunion or a possible anatomical norm variant, can be difficult. We report on two patients who presented with stress-related, radiocarpal pain in our department. In both cases, radiological abnormalities were observed in the scaphoideal area, with a scaphoideum bipartitum on both sides, as well as an approximately 25-year-old scaphoid pseudarthrosis.

Keywords: Pseudoarthrosis; Radiocarpal pain; Scaphoid fracture; Scaphoid reconstruction; Scaphoideum bipartitum.
