  Background: Scaphoid malunion alters the carpal kinematics and impairs clinical outcome because of pain, weakness, restricted range of motion and predisposing the wrist joint to early osteoarthritis.

Scaphoid stress fractures are rare and can be a cause of wrist pain in sportspersons. All the cases reported in the literature have been sportspersons. Missing a scaphoid stress fracture could lead to non-union of the scaphoid and early degenerative arthritis of the radio-carpal joint. This can cause chronic wrist pain and can reduce the career span of a sportsperson. We report a case of non un...

 Abstract Background: The varieties of treatment methods for the scaphoid non:::union::: have always been a discussable issue for orthopaedic surgeons. The current study, considered to be review for treatment results of the patients who sustained the scaphoid non:::union::: with or without avascular necrosis and compared these two groups clinically and radiologically. Methods: The clinical and ...

BACKGROUND Despite extensive literature supporting the use of computerized tomography (CT) scans in evaluating scaphoid fractures, there has not been a consensus on the methodology for defining and quantifying union. The purpose of this study was to test the inter-observer reliability of two methods of quantifying scaphoid union. METHODS The CT scans of 50 non-operatively treated scaphoid fra...

Background. Pseudoarthrosis of the scaphoid results in the development of carpal instability and severe posttraumatic osteoarthritis. Modern methods of treatment focus on reconstruction of the anatomical shape and length of the scaphoid. The purpose of our study was to determine the occurrence of carpal osteoarthritis after surgical treatment of scaphoid pseudoarthrosis using a cortico-cancello...

BACKGROUND The scaphoid fractures account for 50%-80% of all carpal bone fractures in young individuals. Non-union of the fracture occurs in approximately 5%-10% of undisplaced scaphoid fractures. Current management varies significantly among different places and surgeons. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this review is to investigate the evidence of the effectiveness and safety of various treatment...
