Abstract: Scaphoid is the most common carpal bone to get fractured in the wrist. Scaphoid fracture is very challenging to treat since it has a tenuous vascular pattern.
Non unions and degenerative arthritis can occur due to diagnostic delay and treatment inadequacy. Surgical management with newer techniques have emerged for the treatment of non-union in scaphoid fractures. Despite the advancement of the newly developed fixation techniques, including open and percutaneous fixation, the non-union rate of scaphoid remain as high as 10% after surgical management. Scaphoid non union can present with or without avascular necrosis of proximal pole, and may show a humpback deformity on the radiograph. Surgical treatment is directed at correcting the deformity with open reduction with internal fixation with bone grafting.
