Scaphoid fractures are the most common carpal bone fractures and usually occur due to trauma, typically a fall on an outstretched hand. The scaphoid bone is integral to wrist biomechanics, linking the proximal carpal row to the distal row. Neglected scaphoid fractures can lead to significant long-term complications, with degenerative changes likely to occur. The most common consequence of a neglected scaphoid fracture is known as scaphoid non-union advanced collapse, which typically begins within five years following the injury. It is widely accepted that scaphoid fractures, in general, should be treated to avoid long-term complications. Many surgeons aggressively treat proximal pole fractures with surgical fixation due to the high risk of avascular necrosis. Although some surgeons may consider a period of immobilization, none would argue against the need for treatment of proximal pole fractures, either through immobilization or surgical fixation. In this case, we present an instance of spontaneous union of a neglected proximal pole fracture non-union in a mature adult. This report aims to provide awareness of the possible spontaneous union of neglected proximal pole scaphoid fracture. It also challenges the call for acute aggressive surgical intervention in such fractures. Radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging scan images before and after union are presented, along with a review of the available literature.
