The general accepted treatment of acute, undisplaced fractures of the scaphoid is cast immobilization which is reported to produce uncomplicated healing in most instances. However, in acute displaced scaphoid fractures, it can often be difficult to reduce anatomically and maintain reduction with cast only. In addition to that, 6 to 8 weeks of cast immobilization is often recommended to achieve union and prevent any suspected complications of corrective surgeries (Adolfsson et al., 2001). Improvements in the diagnosis and therapy of scaphoid fractures are urgently needed. Herbert's classification of scaphoid fractures provides the underlying rationale for treatment according to the fracture type seen on X-ray However, there is no consensus regarding the optimal treatment. In this study, based on literature review, it provide an overview of the management of the acute scaphoid fractures
