Missed isolated volar dislocation of the scaphoid.
A patient presented with volar dislocation of the scaphoid, the diagnosis of which had been missed for two weeks. He was treated with open reduction through a combined volar and dorsal approach with decompression of the median nerve, internal fixation, and a cast for eight weeks. One year postoperatively the functional result was good. A radiograph showed no sign of avascular necrosis.
