Preliminary evidence that bilateral scaphoid symmetry is not affected by hand dominance or biological sex: Volumetric and geometric analysis using computer tomography high-resolution 0.5 mm slice-thickness

The scaphoid bone has a unique anatomy that can lead to complicated injury healing including non-union with or without avascular necrosis and subsequent complex operative treatment. The use of imaging of contralateral bones for operative planning and implant creation such as bone grafting relies on the innate symmetry of the human body. Previous studies of scaphoid anatomy have demonstrated symmetry in three-dimensional space and volume in right-hand dominant individuals. There is a gap in the l…
