Is a scaphoid fracture serious or can i wait before having it checked out?

Check it out : If it is not treated well, you may ultimately have a fracture that will not heal you may then require a surgical procedure instead of just a cast for immobilization get an xray.

Check check it out..: This fracture if it is not lined up rpoperly or if it is comminuted or fragmented needs to be strongly considered for fixation ( surgery) even non displaced this fracture needs very careful casting in order to heal , while most do heal there is a higher chance for this fracture to have problems than other factures in the wrist. Dont wait.
