Mayo classification of scaphoid fractures

Mayo classification of scaphoid fractures divides them into three types according to the anatomic location of the fracture line:

• middle (70%)
• distal (20%)
• proximal (10%)

Fractures of the distal third are further divided into distal articular surface and distal tubercle fractures:

• distal tubercle third fracture
• distal articular surface fracture
• distal third fracture
• middle third fracture
• proximal third fracture

The location of the fracture has important implications on the risk of AVN and, therefore, management.
