Clinical Scaphoid Fracture
If the patient presents with tenderness over the scaphoid, but no fracture is evident on x-ray, then a Thumb Spica cast is applied.
After 10 days repeat x-rays are taken.
If no fracture is present on repeat films --> Remove cast. No further immobilisation required
If fracture is present on repeat films --> Remove cast and apply a full scaphoid cast
