Radioscaphoid Impingement after Volar Plate Fixation and Bone Grafting of a Non-United Scaphoid Fracture.

Volar plate fixation (VPF) of scaphoid fractures has received increased attention over the past decade. The purported benefits over headless screw fixation are increased rigidity, better purchase of small fragments, the ability to prevent extrusion of bone graft, and to act as a buttress against excessive scaphoid flexion. We report a case of symptomatic radioscaphoid impingement presenting two years after successful VPF for a non-united scaphoid fracture.
