Outcomes After Treatment of Scaphoid Nonunion With Open Reduction Internal Fixation and Nonvascularized Autograft
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to evaluate the outcomes of treating scaphoid nonunion using open reduction internal fixation and nonvascularized autograft (NVA). Their retrospective study of 99 patients revealed a high union rate of 95%, with no significant differences in healing outcomes between patients treated with cancellous only autograft and corticocancellous autograft. The findings suggest that NVA is an effective treatment for scaphoid nonunion and indicate that multiple postoperative CT scans may not be necessary for confirming healing.
