Hey Mr. Bones, Broken scaphoid is a bad business (potentially). The blood vessel that keeps the scaphoid bone alive may be torn in this injury. This can lead to failure of the two bits to unite if you don't keep your wrist immobilised for long enough. If there is non-union you can get severe arthritis. Do what you're told by the Doctor (Orthopaedic surgeon?) looking after you - even if it means 12 weeks off heavy wrist use - er... if you know what I mean.
