Scaphoid Non-Union Fracture of Both Wrists in a Young Elite Wrestler Without Significant Trauma: A Case Report
Abstract
Special attention is needed to assess constant wrist pain to avoid missed carpal bone fractures subsequent to traumatic events. Also, the consideration of avascular necrosis of carpal bones such as scaphoid bone after a traumatic or stress fracture is very important. We hereby report a young elite wrestler who has been complaining about pain in his both wrists for about two years before his visit to our clinic. The interesting point about this athlete is bilateral involvement and that the second pathology was probably overuse without any trauma.
