Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Background: Incidence of scaophoid fracture non union is estimated to be 5-10% despite treatment. Considering the poor prognosis, a number of treatments have been advocated. Though literature supports open reduction, internal fixation and bone grafting, controversy exists regarding the mode of fixation and method of grafting. Objective: The purpose of this study is to analyze the results and functional outcome of patients with non union scaphoid treated with open reduction and K wire fixatin and bone grafting. Materials & Methods: 20 patients with Non union waist of scaphoid, treated surgically with K wire fixation and distal radius bone grafting were assessed for the functional outcome using Modified scaphoid outcome scoring system. Results: At an average follow up of 6 months, there is 95% union rate with this technique. Functionally,15% excellent, 65% good, 15% fair and 5% poor results with the described technique
