Dr. Ashish Mittal from The Royal Orthopedic Hospital & Sports Injury Centre, Jaipur (Raj.) explains about most common type of Wrist fracture amongst sports athlete i.e Scaphoid Fracture.

The scaphoid is the most common carpal bone to fracture. Fracture of the scaphoid usually occurs from a fall onto an outstretched hand. The patient usually experiences wrist pain and some swelling. The patient may not seek medical advice, thinking that this is a wrist sprain. The patient may get an x - ray and the x-ray intially may be negative (scaphoid fracture could be missed). The blood supply of the scaphoid bone is very unique as blood flows from front to back through vessels.
It may take time to heal as non-union of scaphoid bone is more common as compared to other bones. After analysing the X-ray of the patient pattern of the fracture is identifies based on the location of the fracture in the bone.
It can be of two types – Distal Pole or Proximal Pole. Treatment and recovery in both the scenario is totally different.
