Abstrakt: A child of 13 years, victim of a fall on his wrist at dorsal flexion position; he presented a scaphoid fracture associated with a displaced fracture of the distal end of the radius. The radius fracture was reduced under general anesthesia, by external manoeuvre; the consolidation was obtained after 10 weeks of plaster cast immobilization. The follow-up was of two years, with a good clinical and radiological result in spite of a non union of the Ulnar-styloid. It is important to remember this exceptionnel association in children not to forget the scaphoid fracture.
