Abstract:
Bipartite scaphoid is a rare anomaly and it has been questioned as whether it is of congenital origin or traumatic. However, many authors have reported that congenital origin is more probable. There was no case report in Korea about bipartite scaphoid, but this article reports a case of a 38-year-old male with bilateral bipartite scaphoid.
