Corticocancellous grafting and an AO/ASIF lag screw for nonunion of the scaphoid. A retrospective analysis.
We report our experience in 42 patients, using corticocancellous bone grafts and lag screw fixation for un-united scaphoid fractures. Using a grading system, we analysed the suitability of the method for three types of nonunion. We recommend the operation for the treatment of scaphoid nonunion, except where there is avascular necrosis of the proximal pole.
متن کاملEstablished nonunion of the scaphoid treated by volar wedge grafting and Herbert screw fixation.
We reviewed 26 consecutive men of mean age 28 years who had wedge bone grafting and Herbert screw fixation for symptomatic established nonunion of the waist of the scaphoid. The period between injury and operation averaged 30 months (10 to 96), and 11 of the 26 patients had had previous operations, seven with bone grafts. At a mean follow-up of 14 months (6 to 42) 25 fractures (95%) had united ...
متن کاملPercutaneous screw fixation without bone grafting for established scaphoid nonunion with substantial bone loss.
Ununited fractures of the scaphoid with extensive bone resorption are usually treated by bone grafting and internal fixation, using either an open or a minimally invasive technique. We studied the feasibility of percutaneous fixation without bone grafting in a consecutive series of 27 patients with established nonunion of an undisplaced fracture of the scaphoid and extensive local resorption of...
متن کاملScaphoid Nonunion.
The natural history and treatment of scaphoid fractures and subsequent nonunions have occupied a substantial portion of the orthopaedic literature. The authors examine the role of modern diagnostic tools in making an earlier diagnosis of scaphoid nonunion, in more accurately determining the displacement and angulation of the fragments, and in identifying the presence of avascular necrosis. They...
متن کاملThe relationship between the site of nonunion of the scaphoid and scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse (SNAC).
We studied retrospectively the radiographs of 33 patients with late symptoms after scaphoid nonunion in an attempt to relate the incidence of scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse (SNAC) to the level of the original fracture. We found differing patterns for nonunion at the proximal, middle and distal thirds. The mean intervals between fracture and complaint were 20.9, 6.7 and 12.6 years and obvio...
