- The scaphoid is one of the small group of bones in the wrist called the carpal bones. It is the most common carpal bone to fracture among athletes and is often caused by falling onto an outstretched hand.
Initially treatment of a scaphoid bone fracture would be to apply ice or cold therapy, protect the wrist with bandaging or strapping and seek medical attention.

Thumbs up if you've knackered your scaphoid! (not literally :))
Broke my scaphoid, doctor missed it in the xray, came back to working out two weeks later using a splint, came back to full maximum weights and bodyweight exercises using a splint after two months. Seven months later I came back saying it still hurts and something is wrong, then they found out it was broken. A doctor said we should operate because of blood supply blah blah blah, the other said no it looks like it will heal on its own and it's taking forever because I am extremely active with that hand. That entire period I could not do pushing exercising like bench without a splint so the weight gets divided equally on all the wrist bones and particularly away from the scaphoid, and I could not do open hand pushups, meaning I had to do fist pushups. Two years later I could do open hand pushups etc... Now, two years and ten months later, I can almost bench my max without a splint, and I can absolutely do open hand pushups. There is always that feeling that it's going to start hurting and that it's still not fully healed, but I know it's getting better and better by the second.
Broke mine 6 years ago identified it quickly. Doctor put me in the cast for 6 weeks, didn't heal, then they did the Screw surgery, that didn't work, then they did a bone graft and that seemed to work, but i was "out of action" for about 6 months and then another 4 with wrist braces. I do still get aches and pains and stiffness 6 years later (as im sure i will for the rest of my life). I wouldnt wish this injury on my worst enemy it sucks!!!!
Mine was snapped that bad. You could see the crack right through it and had the screw operation 3 days later.
really
mhkq786 Hamza yes stil have pictures its really bad
Sorry to hear :( i broke mine yesterday and i dont know how to react
themegaabe just have a lot of patience and the pain killers but dont let them take over because pain killers are evil and addictive. a month to 6 weeks youll feel better but in all honestly took me 6 months to get strengh back in my right wrist
Good luck, I just broke my left scaphoid. Hopefully it heals faster than my last scaphoid break on my right hand. The last one had to have surgery, and took 9 months before it was ruled healed. Good luck!
I had the scaphoid fracture. Is it mandatory to take out the herberts screw few months after surgery ?
Broke mine in August of 2014. Wasn't diagnosed until November. Had a splint from nov-jan. Was determined non Union. Had screw fixation and bone graft beginning of February. Just had 2nd checkup since surgery. Will be in hard cast for atleast couple more months
Jacob hi hows ur wrist right now?
Jacob same situation please let me know how ur wrist right now if the mobility and screw affects you
I am all healed up now and I have no pain. However, my mobility is at about 90% and my doctor told me that is probably as good as it'll get. I can feel a little stiffness when i do push ups but no pain. Overall, im good to go. Terrible bone to break and the healing process was seemingly never ending. If you get a removable splint I recommend you always keep it on to ensure the wrist is immobile. Good luck with the recovery I hope the best for you!
Jacob how long was the recovery process? Been wearing the removal braces in 6months
It was about a year total until i could start working out again. However, because mine went undiagnosed for 3 months it prolonged the healing process. If your wrist hasn't had any healing after wearing it for 6 months, I would assume you would need surgery, this was my case.
my scaphoid healed after a year and 3 months without having a surgery
cristiano ronaldo hey man do u know what kind of fracture u got? And did u feel pain on those months while waiting for it to get healed?
I think I have a scaphoid fracture but I had an x Ray and I was fine so I don't know

Ikram Sherzad did u go on surgery? Hows the recovery period?
I got dislocated bones and a broken scaphoid one half of my scaphoid actually moved right to the other side of my wrist the surgeon screwed it back together and kwired the dislocated carpel bones back into place the doctor said it went well and there is no need to worry, i have a feeling he is lieing any one else had an injury like this?
I have a lot of pain in my left wrist when I was getting up from the living room floor I twisted my hand. It happen on the first week of March and until this day it still hurts when I get up from bed or I tried to open door knobs or put weight on my left wrist.
