Body
was changed:
The Mayo classification of scaphoid fractures divides scaphoid fractures into three types according to the anatomic location of the fracture line:
middle (70%)
distal (20%)
proximal (10%)
Fractures of the distal third are further divided into distal articular surface and distal tubercle fractures:
distal tubercle third fracture
distal articular surface fracture
distal third fracture
middle third fracture
proximal third fracture
The location of the fracture has important implications on the risk of osteonecrosis and, therefore, management.
