Dislocation of the carpal scaphoid is a rare injury. A case of delayed diagnosis of scaphoid dislocation necessitating late treatment is described. The scaphoid was displaced anteromedially, causing compression of the median nerve in the carpal canal. Treatment consisted of carpal tunnel decompression and scapho-trapezium trapezoid fusion. Useful wrist motion without significant pain was restored.
