Even though the die-punch fragment of the distal radius fracture was described as early as in 1962, its detection may be crucial to select the optimal therapy even nowadays. Typically, the die-punch fragment is located in the lunate fossa. It can, however, also be located in the radial column. The patient with the die-punch fracture of the scaphoid fossa, treated by us with open reduction and plate osteosynthesis from two surgical approaches, is presented in our case report.
