title: Dislocation of the carpal scaphoid: an 8-year follow-up.
abstract: Isolated dislocation of the carpal scaphoid is a rare injury, with 10 cases reported in the English-language literature. We report an 8-year follow-up of a dislocated scaphoid treated with open reduction and Kirschner wire fixation. Good to excellent range of motion was the result.
