Abstract

Scaphoid fractures are difficult fractures to diagnose. They are often revealed at a late stage, or even at a very early stage of pseudarthrosis. Pseudarthroses may be asymptomatic and the fracture will be revealed when a new, more recent trauma occurs. For the expert physician, the question of a previous condition or pathological predisposition must be posed. Using two clinical cases of an old scaphoid fracture revealed by a recent trauma, the authors propose to study clinical and radiological elements in order to analyze imputability and discuss a possible previous condition or pathological predisposition.
