Summary

This trial is trying to understand if immobilization of the thumb after a non-displaced scaphoid fracture affects recovery. The standard of care overseas is a cast that allows for free movement of the thumb, and in the United States it is a cast that immobilizes the thumb. This study is attempting to understand if there is a difference.
