Purpose: This study evaluated the functional outcome after conservative treatment of non-displaced scaphoid fractures using an international validated outcome scale (DASH). Methods and materials: Between 2005 and 2010, 60 patients with a non-displaced scaphoid fracture were included. When a patient visited the emergency department and was clinically suspected of a scaphoid fracture radiography ...

 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 ...

INTRODUCTION Standard management of scaphoid fractures is based largely on tradition and anecdote. Technological advances such as improved imaging, wrist arthroscopy, and cannulated screws are contributing to a rapid evolution in the diagnosis and management of scaphoid fractures and their sequelae. This review outlines some of the controversies surrounding scaphoid fractures, in the context of...

Despite the high incidence of scaphoid fractures, their diagnosis and treatment is often delayed which can lead to complications such as non-union, avascular necrosis, and future arthritis. We present three cases with non-classical mechanisms of injury, leading to a delayed diagnosis in all three cases. Our cases serve to emphasize the importance of a high index of suspicion for the possibility...

As per literature the immediate and late carpal tunnel syndrome in colles fracture and other wrist injuries is known but tardy carpal tunnel syndrome in fracture Scaphoid is rare. I am presenting a case of tardy carpal tunnel syndrome in patient with non-union fracture scaphoid with 40 years old injury.

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...

BACKGROUND Delays in diagnosis and inadequate treatment of acute scaphoid fractures can lead to non-unions, presenting surgeons with unique challenges regarding optimal management. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcome of scaphoid non-unions treated with percutaneous screw fixation. METHODS The study group comprised 12 patients with scaphoid non-unions of an average d...

PURPOSE The present study is a review of patients with scaphoid non-unions treated with a dorsal vascularized bone graft. The study highlights a subset of patients incorrectly diagnosed as graft failures. METHODS A retrospective review of patients who received vascularized grafts for scaphoid nonunions was performed over a four-year period. The vascularized graft of choice for this group was ...

Introduction Scaphoid fractures are the most common type of hand fracture. Traditionally, non-displaced fractures of the scaphoid have been treated conservatively, with the immobilisation of the hand with a cast; hence, surgical fixation of the fracture has become increasingly popular because of quicker re-mobilisation and return to its original function. However, this was balanced against the ...
