A fractured scaphoid refers to a break in the scaphoid bone, one of the small bones in the wrist located near the base of the thumb. This type of fracture commonly occurs due to a fall onto an outstretched hand. It can lead to complications such as nonunion or avascular necrosis if not diagnosed and treated promptly. Symptoms typically include wrist pain, swelling, and tenderness in the area near the thumb.
