Abstract
Scaphocapitate fracture syndrome is a relatively uncommon variant of trans-scaphoid perilunte dislocation in which the head of the capitate is fractured and rotated . The incidence of the injury has not been documented, and no report has been issued in Korea since the lesion was originally described in 1937. Termed 'naviculocapitate fracture syndrome'by Fenton in 1956, scaphocapitate fractures continue to pose problems at diagnosis and treatment. The author experienced one case of scaphocapitate fracture syndrome in the left wrist joint which was treated by open reduction and K-wire fixation.
