Hi, I faced a accident 4 months ago, my left wrist joint pressed badly and pain occurred in the same time, shown to orthopedist; he has done x-ray & recommended to go for a wrist band for a month and have pain killer for 10 days. I have applied the same, but from past 1 month due to chilled weather pain started again & as per the recommendation from the same orthopedist; i undergone for a MRI scan; now report shows:Ununited fracture of the scaphoid bone.Now same orthopedist has recommended for a surgery in which he ;l implant a screw and a piece of bone in the same area. Pls recommendIs it so serious that I have to  go for a surgery or is there any other alternate option for the same; as Dr. recommend that after surgery i have to tie a Plaster for 3 months.Regards:Rakesh Soni.

I understand your case and your fears. In united scaphoid bone case, surgery is the best management. I advise you to do your surgeons instruction as scaphoid fractures are one of the most difficult and serious fractures with many complications. I hope you become well.
