Temporary Ischaemia of the Scaphoid in a ChildFrom the Hand Unit, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Gold Coast Hospital, Southport. Australia Correspondence: Dr Satoru T Chamberlain, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Gold Coast Hospital, PO Box 451 Southport, 4215, Queensland, Australia. E-mail: Sartoru_Chamberlain{at}health.qld.gov.au We describe a case of a 12-year-old boy who developed acute ischaemia of the entire scaphoid following simple trauma to the wrist. No fracture was evident; however, MRI and bone scintigraphy at the time of the injury revealed complete ischaemia of the scaphoid. A repeat MRI at 6 months showed evidence of incomplete revascularisation of the scaphoid.
