A member asked:

I fell and landed on my scaphoid. it is bruised a little swelled up. do i have a sprain or a scaphoid fracture?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

X-ray needed: you will need an x-ray of the wrist to determine if there is a fracture or not. Please be aware that 2 weeks after the injury the x-ray could be limited in its capacity to detect scaphoid fracture, so i would recommend an x-ray as soon as possible
