According to Balci et al. (2015), the gross sensitivity of plain radiographs is between 57.8% to 63.7% while the use of a multidetector computerized tomography was able to expose 128 occult fractures out of 457 wrists examined that was missed by radiography. Scaphoid fractures account for 60%

distal phalanx. It is made up of three different muscle heads that comes together at the level of the carpus to form one common tendon. The three different heads are the humeral head, the ulnar head and the radial head. The humeral head origins from the medial epicondyle of the humerus. The ulnar head arises on the medial aspect of the olecranon and attaches with the main tendon at the level of the carpus. The radial originates from the caudomedial aspect of the radius at approximately the middle third
