Treatment of ununited fractures of the scaphoid by iliac bone grafts and Kirschner-wire fixation.
Of 151 ununited fractures of the scaphoid that were treated with iliac bone grafts and Kirschner-wire fixation through a volar approach, all but four (97 per cent) healed in an average of seventeen weeks, Three of the four failures resulted from obvious technical errors. Neither the preoperative existence of necrosis of the proximal fragment nor the location of the fracture affected the results...
متن کاملComparison of Fixation Methods for Scaphoid Nonunions
The purpose of this study was to analyze the relative biomechanical stability of three types of internal fixation with cancellous bone graft in a cadaveric, scaphoid nonunion model. A scaphoid nonunion model was created by removing a volar wedge of bone from the waist of the scaphoid in 18 fresh frozen human cadavers. Cancellous sawbone graft was inserted into the osteotomy site and three group...
متن کاملFree vascularised iliac bone graft for recalcitrant avascular nonunion of the scaphoid.
We report the use of a free vascularised iliac bone graft in the treatment of 21 patients (19 men and 2 women) with an avascular nonunion of the scaphoid in which conventional bone grafting had previously failed. The mean age of the patients was 32 years (23 to 46) and the dominant wrist was affected in 14. The mean interval from fracture to the vascularised bone grafting was 39 months (9 to 62...
متن کاملVascularized bone graft for scaphoid nonunion.
The management of recalcitrant nonunion of the scaphoid can be frustrating. Recent understanding of the vascular anatomy of the distal radius has helped in the management of these problems. Vascularized bone grafting for scaphoid nonunion has improved the union rates. Consequently, familiarity with this procedure is an important tool for any surgeon who treats scaphoid nonunion. Although there ...
متن کاملScaphoid nonunion: correction of deformity with bone graft and internal fixation
The scaphoid is the most commonly fractured bone in the carpus. Although greater than 90% of scaphoid fractures unite with cast immobilization, failure to heal remains a clinical reality, particularly when the fracture is displaced or associated with intracarpal instability [1–3]. Dabezies [4] reported a 55% incidence of nonunion and a 50% rate of proximal pole avascular necrosis (AVN) in scaph...
