Surgical treatment involves stabilizing the fractured parts using screws or wires.<\/li><li><strong>Physiotherapy:<\/strong> After treatment, physiotherapy is used to restore wrist mobility and strength.

Here is general information about the healing process of a scaphoid fracture:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Healing time:<\/strong> The scaphoid bone heals more slowly than other bones of the wrist because blood flow to this area is limited. Simple scaphoid fractures usually heal within 6-12 weeks. However, in comminuted or displaced fractures, the healing time may take up to 3-6 months.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><ul><li><strong> Thealing process:<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>o <strong>Immobilization:<\/strong> The wrist is immobilized with a cast or splint to allow the broken bones to heal in the correct position. This period usually lasts 6-12 weeks. During the splint or cast treatment, the healing process of the fracture is monitored through regular medical check-ups.<\/p><p>o <strong>Surgical intervention:<\/strong> In cases that require surgical treatment, the post-operative recovery time may vary. After surgery, it is important for the patient to protect the surgical area for a period of time and care for it according to their doctor&#8217;s recommendations. Immobilization may also be necessary after surgery.<\/p><p>o <strong>Physical therapy:<\/strong> Physical therapy is used as part of the treatment process to restore wrist mobility and strength. Physical therapy begins after the splint or cast is removed and may last several weeks. Special exercise programs are used to increase wrist mobility and strength.<\/p><p>o <strong>Follow-up examinations:<\/strong> Regular follow-up examinations are performed to monitor the healing process. These examinations assess whether the healing process is proceeding correctly and update the treatment plan if necessary.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Complications:<\/strong> Scaphoid fractures carry the risk of complications due to the slow healing process and restricted blood flow. If the fracture is left untreated or inadequately treated, nonunion or avascular necrosis may occur. In this case, part of the bone dies due to a lack of blood supply and additional surgical interventions may be required.<\/li><\/ul><p>As MSM clinic, we closely monitor the recovery process of each of our patients and provide the necessary support to help them get well as quickly as possible.
