Abstract

A thirteen-year old boy fell on his outstretched left palm, resulting in hyperextension. X-rays showed a fracture of the scaphoid through a cystic appearance in the center of the scaphoid. For two years, the patient was treated conservatively without any sign of healing. After operation, where curettage and autogenous-bone grafting were performed, the scaphoid healed completely. Biopsy revealed enchondroma.
