A member asked:
I recently found out i broke the navicular bone in my wrist. am i doomed to have wrist pain forever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The navicular or scaphoid bone fracture can lead to chronic pain and wrist degeneration if not appropriately treated. However with appropriate treatment such as: casting, bone stimulation, open reduction, bone grafting, vascular bone grafting and soft tissue repair, these issues can be prevented. Seek care with a fellowship trained hand surgeon.
