Abstract

This study explores the economic implications of immediate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in treating suspected scaphoid fractures. Historically, conventional methods have been used, but recent advancements have introduced MRI into acute care settings, challenging established diagnostic paradigms. The study aims to close the empirical-economic evidence gap on the prompt use of MRI in cases with suspected scaphoid fractures, providing insight into cost-effectiveness, resource use, and overall healthcare efficiency. The literature study illuminates the evolution of diagnostic approaches for scaphoid fractures, highlighting the limitations of conventional methods. The findings underscore the pivotal role of MRI in scaphoid fracture management, demonstrating cost-effectiveness and enhanced healthcare outcomes, challenging traditional diagnostic pathways.
