title: [Diagnosis of carpal bone fractures].
abstract: The diagnosis of carpal bone fractures has been facilitated by new radiological projections and by the advent of modern imaging methods. Fractures of the scaphoid bone still account for 75% of carpal fractures with their complications (pseudarthrosis, malunion) and their sequelae of arthrosis. However, the frequency of other fractures appears to be increasing due to a better knowledge of their mechanism and to the possibilities of the new imaging methods.
