Can you swim with a scaphoid fracture?

Consult...: With you physician. This is dependent on the age of the fracture, if you had surgery or not and what type of swimming you are participating in. You may be able to call your physicians office without making an appointment specifically for that question. Best of luck!

Scaphoid: The scaphoid or navicular sits below the trapezium and distal to the radius on the thumb side of the carpus or wrist. It spans the proximal and distal carpal row and flexes and extends depending on wrist position subjecting it to a lot of motion. When fractured the los supply can be an issue and the rate of non union is higher than for similar wrist bones . A scaphoid fracture needs a specialist.
