NON-UNION OF PROXIMAL POLE SCAPHOID FRACTURE TREATED WITH RETROGRADE HERBERT SCREW FIXATION TECHNIQUE
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND DIAGNOSTIC RESEARCH - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Treatment of proximal pole Scaphoid fractures warrants urgent attention as they are prone to osteonecrosis and non-union with an incidence of 53%-92%. We report a case of proximal pole scaphoid fracture which was initially treated conservatively and presented 8 months later with fibrous non-union. The patient was treated with Herbert compression screw through dorsal approach. There were no signs of recurrence at 2 years follow-up. Herbert screw without bone graft can give adequate and required compression with good functional outcome
