FAQs

What is an X-Ray Scaphoid?

X-Ray Scaphoid is a specialized diagnostic imaging examination that provides detailed images of the scaphoid bone, one of the small bones located on the thumb side of the wrist.

Why is this X-ray performed?

It is commonly performed when a scaphoid fracture is suspected, especially after a fall onto an outstretched hand or when there is pain and tenderness near the base of the thumb.

What conditions can this examination help diagnose?

It can help diagnose scaphoid fractures, stress fractures, delayed bone healing (nonunion), avascular necrosis (loss of blood supply), arthritis, and other wrist abnormalities.

Why are specialized scaphoid views needed?

Scaphoid fractures can be difficult to see on routine wrist X-rays. Dedicated scaphoid views improve visualization and increase the likelihood of detecting subtle or hidden fractures.

How is the examination performed?

Your hand and wrist will be positioned in several specific angles while multiple X-ray images are taken to clearly visualize the scaphoid bone.
