| Popis: | Most minimally displaced scaphoid fractures and all displaced scaphoid fractures in elite athletes are treated with early fixation to maximally expedite the return to full function. Computed tomographic (CT) scans are recommended in all scaphoid fractures to facilitate a complete understanding of fracture anatomy and to allow for optimal screw placement. Screw placement is important to maximize healing capacity of the fracture and allow for return to sport. Postoperative CT scans can be helpful to evaluate the extent of healing and may allow patients to return to play sooner. |
