Scaphoid Fractures
Specialized Care for Scaphoid Fractures
Pain at the base of your thumb or deep in your wrist after a fall can make every small task uncomfortable. If you have been told you may have a scaphoid fracture, or your wrist pain is not improving, you need clear answers and a focused plan.
At Upper Extremity ATX, we evaluate and treat scaphoid fractures with attention to both function and comfort. Our independent orthopedic surgery practice is dedicated to hand and wrist conditions, so you receive focused, upper extremity-specific care from a fellowship-trained surgeon, Travis Doering, MD.
Why a Scaphoid Fracture Needs Careful Attention
Scaphoid fractures can be subtle and are sometimes overlooked at first. Ongoing pain with gripping, lifting, or pushing off with your hand can interfere with work, sports, and daily activities. Timely, accurate evaluation helps clarify what is going on and what options you have.
At Upper Extremity ATX, you have time to talk through your symptoms and concerns. We provide evidence-informed guidance so you can understand your diagnosis and participate in decisions about non-surgical and surgical treatment options for your wrist.
Key benefits of focused scaphoid fracture care include:
Our goal is to help you protect wrist function over the long term while working to relieve pain and support your return to the activities that matter to you.
What to Expect From Your Scaphoid Evaluation
Your visit begins with a detailed discussion of how the injury occurred, your symptoms, and what you are having trouble doing day to day. This is followed by a focused physical examination of your hand and wrist, and, when appropriate, review or ordering of imaging to better understand the fracture.
You will have the opportunity to ask questions and talk through realistic options for managing your scaphoid fracture. We explain potential approaches, including non-surgical and surgical treatments, in clear language so you can make informed choices about your care.
Thoughtful Treatment Planning for Your Wrist
Scaphoid fractures vary, and so do the treatment options. At Upper Extremity ATX, we factor in fracture characteristics, your symptoms, and your personal goals when discussing possible approaches. The focus is on supporting healing and wrist motion while considering your work demands, hobbies, and long-term function.
Throughout the process, you are not rushed. We take time to outline what to watch for, what follow-up may look like, and how your plan may be adjusted based on how your wrist responds over time.
