	Abstract:
	Scaphoid fractures in children are rare injuries. A complete scaphoid waist fracture in a 13-year-old boy after fall on the extended wrist is reported. Following early diagnosis by MRI, the fracture healed uneventful with conservative treatment. The appropriate diagnostic approach and the advantages of MRI for suspected scaphoid fractures in children are discussed.
