Fracture(#) is a little displaced
The results with either treatment are not 100% due to scaphoid's precarious blood supply.
If the # is fresh I.e. Less than 5 days old. Than get a scaphoid cast (preferably Fiber glass).
But keep in mind that this needs to be kept for 2-3 months. With periodic radiological evauation to confirm healing.
If some time has passed since the # then go for surgery. But keep in mind even best hands cant gaurantee pain free union.
