AbstractFractures of the scaphoid are a common athletic injury. In this article the indications and treatment strategy for arthroscopic management of scaphoid fractures and nonunions in athletes are reviewed. Various arthroscopic assisted and percutaneous techniques for the fixation of fractures of the scaphoid are discussed, including the volar and dorsal percutaneous approaches, and arthroscopic reduction by the Geissler technique. In general, these techniques include a small amount of wrist arthroscopy and a significant amount of fluoroscopy.
