AM15: Scaphoid Imaging: The Lies of Plain Radiography: What Can We Rely On (Lecture)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses the confusion surrounding the classification and diagnosis of scaphoid fractures. The speaker questions the usefulness of certain classifications and highlights the importance of displacement in determining the prognosis and treatment approach for these fractures. The speaker also mentions a study conducted in Sweden where scopes were used to assess fractures, leading to the discovery of unstable fractures that appeared nondisplaced on CT scans. The implications of this finding on healing and treatment remain uncertain. The speaker concludes by discussing ongoing research to better understand displacement and explores the possibility of using fluoroscopy for movement detection. The video transcript does not specify any credits.
