Scaphoid Non-Union Fracture of Both Wrists in a Young Elite Wrestler Without Significant Trauma: A Case Report

Special attention is needed to assess constant wrist pain to avoid missed carpal bone fractures after traumatic events. Also, the consideration of avascular necrosis of carpal bones such as scaphoid bone after a traumatic or stress fracture is crucial. We hereby report a young elite wrestler who has been complaining about pain in both wrists for about two years before his visit to our clinic. The interesting point about this athlete is bilateral involvement and that the second pathology was probably overuse without any trauma.
