Abstrakt: Scaphocaptiate fracture syndrome is a unique condition and is challenging to manage. This rare fracture develops after high-energy wrist trauma. We reported a patient with a history of falling on an outstretched hand. A 15-year-old boy had scaphocapitate fracture syndrome, which included a displaced fracture of the capitate, an avulsion fracture at the distal tubercle of the scaphoid bone with an extension to the articular surface, and a perilunate fracture. A few months after open reduction and internal fixation were performed, the patient had a satisfying outcome. In addition, we have conducted a review of the literature regarding the mechanism of injury, diagnosis and outcome of published cases in correlation to our discussed case. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
