About this document
Scaphoid Fracture Management Guide by Eduardo Zomkowski is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Fall on the outstretched hand (FOOSH) with wrist in radial deviation. (MOI also for # dorsal radius and S-L ligament) This suggests a mechanism of injury consistent with a scaphoid fracture. Radial deviation of the wrist places increased stress on the scaphoid bone and scapholunate ligament. X-rays may not detect a scaphoid fracture initially.
