Digital tomosynthesis increases the diagnostic sensitivity of occult scaphoid fractures, reducing unnecessary immobilization and advanced imaging. Digital tomosynthesis provides clinical detail beyond plain film, which reduces the need to obtain advanced imaging when assessing union, fracture pattern, and hardware placement.
