Scaphoid fracture
Can I resume push-ups when a scaphoid fracture hurts less?
Author: Dr. Jiwu Chen
Doctor’s answer
Less pain does not confirm union. Parts of this bone have limited blood supply. Resume wrist loading gradually only after clinical and imaging review confirms adequate healing and your clinician clears it.
