The majority have good favorable prognosis, but some develop nonunion of fracture despite optimal treatment, which can lead to further complications if left untreated. It is recommended that displaced scaphoid nonunions (SNUs) should be reduced and fixed to prevent degenerative changes from occurring, even if they are asymptomatic.

Bisphosphonate therapy may lead to significant and chronic suppression of bone turnover, impairing the bone's remodelling property and finally leading to incomplete or complete atypical femur fracture. AFF was defined by the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) Task Force in 2010 and is far less prevalent than proximal femur (hip) fracture, with an incidence of 2 to 78 per 100,000 patients per year following two to eight years of bisphosphonate therapy, respectively.
