Scaphoid Fracture !!!

Scaphoid bone is most commonly fractured wrist bone and it usually gets affected when you fall on the palm of the hand. Gripping or squeezing the objects often worsens the pain associated with scaphoid fracture.

In case of scaphoid fracture, patients’ wrists are immobilized in a cast. Physical therapy treatment helps in achieving range of motion or mobility affected due to immobilization. Scaphoid fracture is particularly common among skate boarding or snowboarding sports as the person usually falls on hard surface during these sports.
