Sammanfattning

We report a case of a seven-year-old girl, who had a scaphoid fracture, which occurred when she fell off her bicycle. She was examined in the emergency room. X-ray did not show any sign of fracture of the scaphoid, but the fracture was later verified with a magnetic resonance imaging scan. She wore a shin cast for eight weeks and recovered completely. Very few cases of children aged under eight years and diagnosed with scaphoid fracture have been reported in the literature. Scaphoid fracture should be suspected and examined for in all children with relevant trauma and symptoms, regardless of age.
