Patient Data
Age: 40 years
Gender: Female
From the case:
Bipartite scaphoid
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/33200/annotated_viewer_json?iframe=true\u0026lang=us"}
The scaphoid has ossified as two separate segments, each with well defined smooth borders. Alignment of these two segments does appear within normal limits.
From the case:
Bipartite scaphoid
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/33202/annotated_viewer_json?iframe=true\u0026lang=us"}
Two well defined segments of scaphoid with well corticated margins are confirmed with CT.
Case Discussion
Failure of fusion of scaphoid ossification may result in a congenital bipartite scaphoid.
Absence of trauma, equal density and size of both segments and a smooth, rounded well-defined cortex is helpful for diagnosis.
