In this episode of PT Snacks podcast, we dive deep into scaphoid fractures, a common yet often mismanaged injury in younger and active individuals. Listeners will learn about the anatomy of the scaphoid bone, the typical mechanisms of injury, common diagnostic challenges, and both conservative and surgical treatment options. We explain the importance of recognizing and adequately managing these fractures to prevent complications like avascular necrosis and non-union. Tune in to enhance your knowledge and clinical skills regarding this significant topic in physical therapy.
