Increased radiodensity of the proximal pole of the scaphoid: a common finding in computed tomography imaging of the wrist.

Objectives:To determine whether the proximal pole (PP) of the scaphoid is denser than the distal pole (DP) in a diverse population of patients undergoing computed tomography (CT) imaging of the wrist.Methods:Sixty-nine patients who had CT of the wrist were retrospective reviewed. We measured CT dens
