Data on scaphoid injuries in NZ.

I am conducting some research into managing suspected scaphoid injuries. I would like to know (1) how many scaphoid fracture injuries occurred between 2019-2024. (2) the breakdown of confirmed, suspected, probable and interim diagnosis listed on the ACC45. (3) the total and average days each client was unfit for work and/or fit for alternative duties. (4) the total and average cost of claims paid by ACC for these injuries.

Patient's being unnecessarily treated for scaphoid fractures when there readily available advanced imaging that could be requested by suitably trained providers.

Allowing analysis and cost analysis.
