The Scaphoid bone is the largest or the carpal bones of the wrist, on your thumb's side. I should know I've broken it a couple of times.

Skeleton picture of the scaphoid bone in wrist can you display an xray of the scaphoid bone?

I can't display images. However, the scaphoid bone is a boat-shaped bone located on the thumb side of the wrist. It is commonly injured in falls, leading to pain and tenderness in the wrist. X-rays are typically used to diagnose scaphoid fractures.

Gliding joints are found between the radius and the scaphoid.


What carpal bone is found in the anatomical snuffbox?

The scaphoid, or navicular bone is located within the anatomic snuffbox. Pain in this location after a fall on the hand or wrist may indicate a fracture of the scaphoid.


How serious is a broken scaphoid bone?

It can be very serious depending on the conditions of the break. If you have a non-union like I did it can take a long time. I had a long arm cast for 5 months and a wrist brace for 3 more months and I'm still not healed. The scaphoid is on of the slowest healing bones in the body and many times requires surgery with a pin, screw, bone graft, or a combination of a pin and a bone graft.If you are lucky enough to catch the break early, it can simply be treated with a cast for up to 6 weeks. It all depends on the severity and conditions of your break.
