ABSTRACT
Fractures of the carpal navicular is a serious injury, particulary in a manual worker, because non union and the resultant disability may limit the usefulness of the extremity. There is almost unanimous agreement that fresh fractures of the carpal navicular should be treated by immobilization in a plaster cast and how immobilization should be maintained. As a result of this study we have arrived at several conclusion regarding to the conservative treatment of fresh navicular fracture.
