Abstract:

In cases of suspected scaphoid fracture where the initial radiographs are negative, a supplementary MRI, or alternatively CT, should be carried out within three to five days. Fracture classification, assessment of dislocation as well as evaluation of fracture healing is best done on CT with reconstructions in the coronal and sagittal planes, following the longitudinal axis of the scaphoid. After adequate conservative management, union is achieved at six weeks for approximately 90% of non-displaced or minimally displaced (≤ 0.5 mm) scaphoid waist fractures.

Abstract:

Fifteen per cent of acute fractures of the scaphoid waist fail to unite if treated non-operatively in plaster, resulting in persistent loss of function. Suspected risk factors for non-union include proximal fracture fragment avascularity and assessments of fracture displacement and comminution. This series of studies investigated whether one can accurately identify which scaphoid waist fractures will unite with plaster treatment. They suggest that proximal fracture fragment vascularity is not a predictor of outcome. In contrast, assessments of fracture displacement on magnetic resonance imagin

Abstract:

A case of simultaneous fracture of the waist of the scaphoid and the hook of the hamate is presented. The scaphoid fracture was treated surgically with a headless compression screw, while the hook fracture was treated conservatively with cast immobilisation for eight weeks. Both fractures achieved bone union and the patient returned to work without any symptoms or complications. Only two cases of fractures of the scaphoid and hamate have been reported previously. However, both of them involved fracture of the body of the hamate. This is the first report of simultaneous fracture of the scaphoid

AbstractComputed tomography (CT) is increasingly used not just to diagnose union but also to estimate the percentage of the fracture gap that is bridged by healing bone. This study tested the primary null hypothesis that there is no agreement between observers on the extent of union of a scaphoid waist fracture on CT. CT scans of 13 nondisplaced scaphoid waist fractures treated nonoperatively were rated by 145 observers. CT scans were done 10 to 12 weeks after injury. Observers were asked to “eyeball” measure percentage of union. We found that there was a moderate agreement on the categorical

Classifications of scaphoid fractures associate the angle of the fracture with its stability. To examine this assumption, we measured acute scaphoid fracture angles and inclinations in relation to different scaphoid axes, using fracture displacement as an indicator of instability. We examined the effect of using different axes on the measurements of angles. CT scans of 133 scaphoid fractures were classified according to the location of the fractures. Using a three-dimensional computer model, we computed four scaphoid axes. For each fracture, we then measured the fracture angle and the directio

The scaphoid is the most commonly fractured carpal bone. Headless compression screws became the gold standard for fixation, but the ideal screw diameter remains debated. This study investigates the relative benefit of using a larger screw diameter to improve stability in typical scaphoid fractures. It also examines the effects of preload and screw length on mechanical behaviour. A finite element (FE) model of a mid-waist scaphoid fracture was created. Screws from Medartis (1.7 mm, 2.2 mm, and 3.0 mm diameter; 23 mm length) were placed along the longitudinal axis. Boundary and loading condition

The os centrale carpi is a relatively rare accessory carpal bone, and its presence may be confused with a scaphoid fracture. A case is presented which simulated an un-united scaphoid fracture on the plain X-ray film. However, CT in the sagittal plane showed two rounded fragments on the dorsum of the scaphoid with smooth, regular cortical margins differing from an acute scaphoid fracture. Their volume combined with the volume of the scaphoid is more than that of a completely normal scaphoid. There is no evidence of degeneration in the two rounded fragments and scaphoid.

Abstract:

Introduction: The scaphoid fracture is the most common type of carpal fracture, and disruption of the proximal row of carpal bones alters wrist mechanics altering the stabilization that permits the wrist to work efficiently. When the displacement is at least 2 mm, the majority of surgeons would preferentially operatively intervene in this fracture. Non-union of the fracture will occur when left untreated. The gold standard for treatment is open reduction and internal fixation using autologous bone graft. This case report is the first to describe the integration of the Hintermann™ Distractor, u

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify how hand surgeons manage scaphoid fractures and their complications. Methods: Two hundred questionnaires were distributed during the 36th Brazilian Hand Surgery Congress (2016). Results: On suspicion of fracture without radiographic confirmation, 57% of surgeons request a CT or MRI scan, while 43% opt for immobilization and consecutive radiographs. In stable fractures the preference was for treatment with plaster cast. In fractures with no scaphoid waist displacement, 33% opt for percutaneous fixation. In displaced waist or proximal pole fractures, 66% and 99.4%,

Abstract:

Abstract Background Scaphoid fractures are relatively uncommon in children, especially below the age of 10 due to the ossification of the scaphoid bone, which starts around 4 to 6 years of age and continues until 13 to 15 years of age, where pediatric scaphoid fractures peak. This makes the diagnoses challenging in this age group. Methods The primary aim of this study was to analyze prospectively collected data in managing scaphoid fractures. All cases in children up to the age of 10 years, treated in a tertiary pediatric hand and upper limb from January 2014 to June 2018 were included. Parame

Some authors recommend using an antirotation wire when performing percutaneous screw fixation of acute non-displaced scaphoid waist fractures. The aim of this study of 21 cadaveric wrists was to assess the usefulness of such a wire in Herbert’s B2-type fractures. A B2-type fracture was created experimentally on each scaphoid. An antirotation wire was inserted in eight wrists. Retrograde percutaneous fixation using a double-threaded headless cannulated screw was performed on all wrists. Computed tomography was used to measure interfragmentary rotation. No interfragmentary rotation was noted in

This may lead to subsequent morbidity and lifelong disability especially in young males in which the fracture scaphoid is more common. Patients and methods: Twenty-one patients presenting non-united fracture scaphoid were operated upon by using disto-proximal bone peg technique with average time between injury and operation as 11 months (6–18 months). All of them male with average age of 26 years (17–35 years). There were 17 patients with fracture wai

Recently, some surgeons reported that most scaphoid waist fractures were horizontal oblique and not transverse in orientation. Therefore, this cadaveric study aimed to biomechanically compare fixation strength between central and eccentric screw placements for the volar fixation of this most common scaphoid waist fracture. Eight matched pairs of fresh-frozen forearm cadaver specimens were prepared for testing and randomly assigned to two groups: group I specimens were fixed by screws in a central placement, and group II specimens were fixed by screws in an eccentric placement.

This study was undertaken to determine the incidence of and assess factors affecting nonunion of scaphoid distal pole fractures. A total of 193 established scaphoid nonunions were treated in our clinics between the years 1999 and 2004; of which, eight cases involved the distal pole of the scaphoid. These were further analyzed to determine factors that may have contributed to the development of nonunion. This study reveals that distal pole nonunions account for 4.1% of all scaphoid nonunions. We found inadequate initial treatment to be the cause for nonunion in 63% of patients. Type IIC fractur

In all cases there was a concomitant injury to the radial side of the wrist: in four cases this was a fracture of the waist of the scaphoid.
