The scaphoid is a boat-shaped bone on the proximal row of carpal bones. The scaphoid is important clinically because it has a retrograde blood supply. This means that a scaphoid fracture may not heal correctly, or at all, resulting in either malunion or non-union respectively. The scaphoid bone, along with the trapezium forms the floor of the anatomical snuffbox.
