title: SCAPHOID STRESS FRACTURE IN GYMNASTICS ATHLETE: A CASE REPORT.
abstract: We present a case report of an 18 year-old gymnast who was diagnosed with a scaphoid stress fracture associated with a distal radial epiphysiolysis, reporting the treatment of choice. After a brief literature review about this rare association, the authors ask for attention concerning the importance of physical and image examination in making right diagnosis and finding associated injuries.
