Author information: (1)University of Wolverhampton and Walsall Hospitals NHS Trust. Nurses working in first-contact settings commonly assess and manage patients with suspected or actual injury to the scaphoid bone. In this article, lack of consensus on the assessment of such injuries, and on which treatment regimen and imaging techniques should be used, is discussed. The importance of being aware of the risk of avascular necrosis of the bone after injury is also emphasised. DOI: 10.7748/en2009.07.17.4.24.c7124
