Abstract

Scaphoid fractures are rarely seen in the pediatric age group. If the fracture is diagnosed late or appropriate treatment is not applied, it may result in nonunion. Wrist pain and restricted movements in these school age cases lead to problems in the developmental activites of the children. Therefore, with the aim of a speedy return to activity, the two pediatric cases presented here were treated with iliac wing bone graft and screw fixation and the results were successful in conformity with literature. As these fractures are rarely seen, it was aimed to evaluate these cases with the relevant literature.
