In a retrospective examination of the films from 53 cases with fracture of the scaphoid it was possible to demonstrate soft tissue alterations within the scaphoid fossa. All these cases were examined adequately, i.e. with correct projections and satisfactory penetrating exposure. A somewhat higher quality of the views was obtained on industrial film.
Haverling et al. (1978) studied this question.
