Abstract Prompt and accurate diagnosis of scaphoid fractures are crucial in preventing complications such as non-union, avascular necrosis & early-onset arthritis. Research has shown that initial radiographs detect a fracture 85–90% cases, but it can be occult up to 10–15%.

PurposeWe evaluated the impact of structural versus nonstructural bone grafting on time to union, scaphoid deformity correction, and clinical outcomes in adults with unstable waist nonunion without avascular necrosis. We hypothesized that would provide earlier restoration anatomy, equivalent compared grafting.MethodsWe prospectively randomized 98 patients undergo open reduction, iliac crest eit...
