Bilateral Scaphoid Fractures: A Systematic Literature Review.
Journal of Personalized Medicine 2024 April 17
Bilateral scaphoid fractures are rare lesions, warranting a review to synthesize current knowledge, identify gaps, and suggest research directions. Two authors, adhering to PRISMA guidelines, in January 2024 identified 16 case reports (1976-2023). Data extraction included demographics, injury mechanisms, associated injuries, fracture sites, treatments, and outcomes. Among 121 initial outcomes, 16 articles met the criteria, predominantly affecting young people (93.75% males, mean age 22 years). High-energy traumas (75%) often caused associated wrist injuries (68.75%). Most fractures required surgical intervention (68.75%), primarily headless compression screws. Bilateral scaphoid fractures, which are rare but associated with high-energy traumas, commonly involve wrist injuries. Surgical management is often necessary, yielding better outcomes with fewer complications. Further research is essential to understand the epidemiology, optimal management, and long-term results. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial for preventing complications and ensuring favorable patient outcomes.
