Hand Injury | Scaphoid Fractures

Note: Oehmke MJ et al have suggested that the blood supply to the scaphoid was more diffuse and complicated than traditionally taught. So the idea that the AVN all comes from disruption of the distal blood supply is likely a bit of a simplistic explanation.
Hand Injury | Scapholunate injuries
More detail on the wrist and in particular the Terry-Thomas sign and carpal instability. As always there’s much more going on in the x-ray than just the bones.
