Question:
A 17-year-old male falls on his wrist while playing basketball. After taking a history, you notice on physical exam that he has marked tenderness within the “anatomical snuff box.” What is the likely diagnosis?
Correct Answer: C. Fracture of the scaphoid bone
The anatomical snuff box is the triangular space formed by the extensor pollicis longus (medial border), extensor pollicis brevis & abductor pollicis longus (lateral border), and the distal radial styloid. The trapezium and scaphoid bones form the floor or base of the snuff box. Tenderness in the anatomical snuffbox indicates scaphoid fracture until proven otherwise!
