A
Scaphoid fracture
B
1st metacarpal fracture
C
Lower end of radius fracture
D
Trapezoid fracture
High-Yield Explanation
(A) Scaphoid fracture # Appearance of Scaphoid fracture may be deceptively normal, but the astute observer can usually detect fullness in the anatomical snuffbox; precisely localized tenderness in the same place is an important diagnostic sign; the scaphoid can of course also be palpated from the front and back of the wrist and it may be tender there as well.> Proximal pressure along the axis of the thumb may be painful
