Methods The characteristic, classification, diagnosis, and treatment of acute scaphoid fractures were reviewed and summarized. Results As one of the common fracture in hand, scaphoid fractures are generally classified as either undisplaced and stable or displaced and unstable. CT and MRI has best diagnostic specificity and sensitivity respectively.
