Wrist fracture? There is actually no such thing as ONE wrist. Instead, eight carpal bones in interaction with the ulna and radius in the forearm enable the numerous movements that our hand can perform. A wrist fracture usually involves one of these eight bones, namely the scaphoid bone. In the video, we explain where the scaphoid bone is located, how a fracture can occur and how it is treated. The healing of a scaphoid fracture can take a long time. Patients must therefore follow a precise treatment plan, both to avoid interrupting the healing process and to prevent the fingers from stiffening despite the plaster cast.
