title: Fractures of the scaphoid.
abstract: We may think that we know all we need to know about fractures of the scaphoid. The reverse is true. Most of what we have been taught (and which we therefore believe we know) is unproved and much of it is actually untrue. Many of the key questions about diagnosis and management remain unanswered.
