Is it hard to break your scaphoid bone?
The wrist bone below the base of the thumb is known as the scaphoid bone. A fracture (break) of this bone can happen when a person falls onto the outstretched hand. This type of fracture does not happen very often in young children because this bone is mostly cartilage. It is seen more often in young adolescents.
