Isolated scaphoid dislocations are very rare. Options for the treatment of dislocation of the scaphoid include closed reduction and casting, closed reduction and percutaneous pinning, and open reduction and ligament repair. We report a case of this rare injury which was treated with open reduction, pinning and ligament repair.
