Core Tip	We recorded returned rates (RRS) and return times (RTS) to sport following acute scaphoid fractures. Eleven studies were included. Seven studies reported on conservative treatment (n = 77); eight studies reported on surgical treatment (n = 83). For conservative management, RRS was 90% (69/77), and RTS was 9.6 wk. For surgical management, RRS was 98% (81/83), and RTS was 7.3 wk. On meta-analysis, RRS (P < 0.045) and RTS (P < 0.002), were significantly better for surgical management compared to conservative management. Surgical management of acute scaphoid fractures can provide significantly improved RRS and RTS, compared to conservative management.
