Despite the high incidence of scaphoid fractures, their diagnosis and treatment is often delayed which can lead to complications such as non-union, avascular necrosis, and future arthritis. We present three cases with non-classical mechanisms of injury, leading to a delayed diagnosis in all three cases. Our cases serve to emphasize the importance of a high index of suspicion for the possibility of scaphoid fractures in order to avoid these potential complications.
尽管舟骨骨折的发生率很高，但其诊断和治疗往往会延迟，这可能导致诸如不愈合、缺血性坏死和未来关节炎等并发症。我们报告三例具有非典型损伤机制的病例，三例均导致诊断延迟。我们的病例旨在强调高度怀疑舟骨骨折可能性的重要性，以避免这些潜在并发症。
