Article Synopsis
- Non-union is a common issue with scaphoid fractures, often leading to functional limitations; various treatments exist, but data on outcomes and patient satisfaction are limited.
- A case series reports on patients treated with a vascularized medial femoral condyle technique, showing that 83% achieved bone union and notable improvements in motion and grip strength after an average follow-up of 31 months.
- The technique demonstrates reliable clinical results and high patient satisfaction, suggesting it is an effective option for managing scaphoid fracture non-union.

Background: Acute treatment for distal radius fractures, the most frequent fractures in the pediatric population, represents a challenge to the orthopedic surgeon. Deciding on surgical restoration of the alignment or cast immobilization without reducing the fracture is a complex concern given the remodeling potential of bones in children. In addition, the lack of evidence-based safe boundaries of shortening and angulation, that will not jeopardize upper-extremity functionality in the future, further complicates this decision.
