Scaphoid injuries can be debilitating, affecting wrist function and mobility. Dr. Parimal Malviya at The Mumbai Clinic specializes in diagnosing and treating scaphoid injuries, providing comprehensive care to restore wrist function and alleviate pain.
Understanding Scaphoid Injuries
The scaphoid is a small bone located near the base of the thumb, crucial for wrist stability and movement. Injuries to the scaphoid typically result from falls onto an outstretched hand, sports injuries, or traumatic accidents. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to prevent complications such as avascular necrosis (bone death).
