Abstract
Fractures of the carpal bones differ substantially in incidence. Apart from the scaphoid, they can frequently be treated conservatively with good results. Relevant concomitant soft tissue injuries are rare. Although scaphoid fracture is the most common fracture of the carpal bones, its treatment is still burdened with various unresolved difficulties and risks in the course of treatment. An overview of the most common complications is given in this chapter, with specific emphasis on scaphoid nonunion. Different treatment options are discussed, along with their indications and limitations, and a treatment algorithm is suggested.
