This is amazing. I fractured my scaphoid and just had a CT. This really helped me understand so I feel ready to talk to my doctor at the follow up. Plus I'm an architect so the drawings were very helpful.
@@atharvakorde5468 Actually, no! The CT came back clear for scaphoid fracture, so my doctor changed my diagnosis to a sprain. More than 2 months later, I'm still struggling a bit with pain, though.
Much of this rings true for me. First thought it was a sprain, but after two days with no improvement, I got it checked out. Medical staff were very good at finding it, doctor did the snuff box test and I'm sure passed that on to the radiologist who took several images, the final being a "scaphoid view", where I bent my wrist to the side (as much as I could, anyways). When I saw the X-rays, I could see no visible fracture line, but in the scaphoid view there was displacement visible along the edge of the bone (waist fracture). They estimated displacement was about 1mm and recommended surgery, so here I am 4 days out of surgery hoping for the best. I've read many horror stories where people think they sprained their wrist or doctors missed the fracture and they go months or years without treatment. I'm stubborn, but I was pretty sure after a couple days it wasn't just a sprain.
I had fracture 2 months ago... on waist scaphoid... my bone has been recover in 8 weeks .. previously 1 doctor said.. i need surgery he will put a scroo on it .. but another doctor suggest me to do pop cast .. and now after 2 month . My scaphoid has been healed ... my age 24 .. my hand still on pop cast tomorrow im going to remove it 😊😊 dont lose hope ... all the best
I have big hopes hahahah :-) :-) ;-) There are many small but very cool channels out there. I like making the vids when i have time, makes reading and rereading more fun. Thanks 🙂
Great video, you explained clearly from the beginning to the end, I only noticed sometimes at the beginning you refered to the Proximal pole as the Distal pole, but it was just for a brief period. I had a fell on my left hand recently, I am glad the ER doctor caught the fracture after he looked more closely to the xrays, now I am in a cast, hope I will soon and nonoperative. Thank you for the video!
@@picturemedicine Thank you, can you please help me with a question if you are a orto doc? I have a cast as you know, but they but my thumb in a 90 degree angle, its very straight and I have numbness and burning in the thumb very often, I went to the ER and they said its normal and refused to talk to me more, can you please tell me what to do in this situation? Is it normal for my thumb to be perpendicular with my hand and have this intense burning sometimes? Or is it the cast wrong?
@@Puya008 I am not an orto doc, sorry 🙂. An advice, if the feeling you are having is constant or if there is discoloration of the thumb then the cast should be adjusted.
@@picturemedicine Thank you anyway, I finally managed to calm my intense pain with a improvised elastic band that pulls my thumb gently towards my body and releases much of the pressure from the cast to my thumb skin/nerves. I am so glad it worked, sad that the ER doctor said its normal and bear with it, because the pain was too intense and excruciating, and it wasn't normal.
I had accident and after i go for surgery in scaphoid put 2 screw, ater your video i understood how and what happen to my wrist, thank you for making nice video with full of information. 🙏🙏
My proximal pole non union went untreated for 1.5 years so had a bone graft (distal radius vascularised bone graft) and screw fix. The fracture line was still visible at the 6 month post operation x-rays but I dont have pain so my doctor said that this is a good indicator of healing but he said it can take up to a year for it to fuse. Its almost been 7 months since surgery now and I still dont have pain but my wrist just doesnt bend back. Is it normal for it to take this long?
It depends how dislocated it is. If there is more then a few milimeters of dislocation of the styloid it can be fixated with a mini invasive operation. Also for the scaphoid if there is singnificant dislocation in can be fixated. That kind of injury requires a hand surgeon to give you all the answers regarding what an operation gives you and what conservative threatment can give. To cut the story short if there is dislocation more than 2 mm operation should be considerd.
@@picturemedicine Thanks so much for the reply, yes I'm thinking they will probably do surgery, Im wating to hear from them. I read online that fracturing both at the same time is very rare. Not sure why given those bones are fairly close to each other.
Mostly one fractures, yes, but if the force is to great, of course, many bones can fracture at the same time. The machanism of trauma is very important. It happens more often than you think.

Did you get a surgery
@@atharvakorde5468 Actually, no! The CT came back clear for scaphoid fracture, so my doctor changed my diagnosis to a sprain. More than 2 months later, I'm still struggling a bit with pain, though.
I got a hair line waist fracture 2weeks ago and I am in a cast right now
I hope it heals on its own because I don’t want a surgical scar on my hand , I am 24

Yes there is a mistake, the correction is in the description. Hope you lose the cast fast 🙂!

I dont think this pain in the thumb is normal, but they said this is how the thumb should be in the cast even if it has this burning/numbness pain

Yes, it is normal for the healing to take time.
@@picturemedicine thank you!
that's a physio problem mate not a healing problem
What about if there is a scaphoid fracture and a radial styloid fracture at the same time? That's what I have, its supposedly rare?
You've done the most easily understood video of this that I've seen.
It depends how dislocated it is. If there is more then a few milimeters of dislocation of the styloid it can be fixated with a mini invasive operation.
Also for the scaphoid if there is singnificant dislocation in can be fixated.

@@picturemedicine Yes, I read that it normally happens with a fall from a ladder or roof, or car accident. I fell while running.
