Change: This is a typical approach to a wrist and scaphoid series in an acute setting. This approach takes account of the possibility that the patient could have a radial fracture or metacarpal fracture when the clinical diagnosis is "fractured scaphoid".

Change: a pedestrian hit by a car. He presented to the Emergency Department with a sore left wrist and was referred for wrist radiography including scaphoid view(s).The PA wrist image demonstrates no clear fracture.

Change: The scaphoid view demonstrates a radial metaphysis fracture (arrowed). This case supports the arguement for not coning teh X-ray beam too tightly when performing the scaphoid view. Interstingly, the fracture of the distal radius was demonstrated most convincingly on this view.MRI Imaging of Wrist TraumaMRI imaging   View changes from previous version. (Word count: 1566)

Change: Yet another consideration is whether you perform a series of tube angles in patients who have convincing clinical evidence of a scpahoid fracture but no radiographic evidence on routine views. This is arguably reasonable if there is good diagnostic yield in patients who would otherwise be referred for MRI imaging.   View changes from previous version. (Word count: 1411)
