Objec:tive: Suspected Scaphoid fractures are common problems in medical practice, which account for countless work-hours losses each year. This was a prospective study that was performed on 51 patients with suspected Scaphoid fracture in Doctor Shariati and Shahid Moaieri hospitals within eight months.
Materials & Methods: The patients were treated with removable thumb splint and weekly physical examination.
Results: We found that 90% of immobilizations were unnecessary and removable brace and weekly examination.
Conclusion: Early rehabilitation can reduce the immobilization time in more than half of our patients.
