Vissage percutané rétrograde du scaphoïde

In addition to the benefit of open surgical treatment of the scaphoid, a reduced downtime and a rapid return to work, percutaneous screw technique also reduces operative risks, avoids the possibility of soft tissue collapsing, the devascularisation of the fracture site and therefore is associated with lower risks of nonunion. The authors report the case of a 27-year-old patient, receiving surgical treatment for a non-displaced fracture ( type 4 of the Schernberg classification) He received a retrograde percutaneous screw fixation. Patient follow up was simple, he was discharged, on the first day postoperative, with a wrist brace that the patient wore for 15 days. Subsequently he started selfrehabilitation. The healing was achieved at around 2 months and 15 days. He was a student who did not stop its courses, however he was forbidden to make efforts for 3 months. This is a technique that gives very good results in the short term. Indication is limited to non-displaced scaphoid fractures.
