[Scaphoid fracture with unusual displacement [Report of one case]]

ABSTRACT

Authors bring back a case of carpal scaphoid fracture out of place forward with migration of proximal segment of the scaphoid in front of the radial metaphysis. This observation is interesting to describe because of the big displacement proximal fragment and the misleading radiological aspect on the profile view lending confusion with perilunar dislocation of the carp. The surgical treatment will permit the reduction then stabilisation of the fracture but won't warn the evolution toward the necrosis of proximal pole and/or the pseudarthrosis
