background: scaphoid mal:union: alters the carpal kinematics and impairs clinical outcome because of pain, weakness, restricted range of motion and predisposing the wrist joint to early osteoarthritis. the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the scaphoid morphological angles on clinical outcomes in patients with reconstructed scaphoid by non-vascularized bone graft. methods: seve...

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...

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...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this paper is to share the outcome of cases of scaphoid non-union treated with 1,2 intercompartmental supraretinacular artery (1,2 ICSRA) vascularised graft at our institution, as well as to identify the possible factors for the failure of the procedure. METHODS This was a retrospective review of 13 cases of scaphoid fracture non-union treated with 1,2 ICSRA vascul...

PURPOSE To compare the treatment outcome of Acutrak versus Herbert screw fixation for scaphoid non-union and delayed union. METHODS Records of 132 patients who underwent Herbert screw fixation (n=61) or Acutrak screw fixation (n=71) with or without bone grafting for scaphoid non-union and delayed union by a single surgeon were reviewed. The most common fracture site was the waist of the scaph...
