Abstract:
The forearm distal bone fracture is the most com-mon fracture in children. Scaphoid frac-ture is rare because the scaphoid is largely cartilaginous in children. Some cases associating both distal radius and scaphoid fractures were reported in the literature. Scaphoid fracture often occurs without displacement and can be easily overlooked. We reported a case of children wrist injury combining scaphoid fracture with ipsilateral distal fracture.
