Computed Tomography for Suspected Scaphoid Fractures: Comparison of Reformations in the Plane of the Wrist Versus the Long Axis of the Scaphoid

Abstract

For diagnosis of true fractures among suspected scaphoid fractures, the diagnostic performance characteristics of CT scans reformatted along the long axis of the scaphoid were better than CT scans in the planes of the wrist, but the differences were not significant.
