Planning
Posteroanterior, oblique, lateral and angled posteroanterior projections.[1]
Detection
Even if there's an initial obvious fracture, evaluate:
- Bone contours for disruptions
- Bone areas for unusual lines that are either hypoattenuating (in case of separation) or hyperattenuating (in case of compression)
Classification
- Scaphoid fracture classification.jpg
Types of fracture misalignment:[2]

Report
When reporting to non-orthopedic doctors who may not know about the limitations of X-ray, emphasize this in the absence of findings, such as:
| No visible fracture as far as can be seen by plain radiography. |
