 To describe the procedure and evaluate the results of a series of patients with stable and unstable pseudarthrosis of the scaphoids treated with the use of arthroscopy associated with cancellous bone graft and compression screw.  Twenty-three patients were treated with this technique. The minimum postoperative follow-up was 12 months, and pre- and postoperative functional, clinical, and imaging analyses were performed.

Background: There are a variety of ways to surgically manage patients with scaphoid waist fractures. The purpose of this study is to compare the rate of union achieved with a nitinol compression staple versus that of a headless compression screw in the treatment of scaphoid waist fractures.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of patients with middle-third scaphoid fractures treated surgically.

Article Synopsis
  • Scaphoid dislocations are very rare injuries, and this report focuses on a 60-year-old male patient who underwent surgery for this condition.
  • The treatment involved open reduction, fixation with Kirschner wires, and stabilising the scapholunate ligament.
  • The case report aims to provide detailed insights into this uncommon injury, covering treatment methods, long-term outcomes, and a literature review for assisting surgeons dealing with similar cases.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study compares three graft options— costo-osteochondral autograft, vascularized medial femoral trochlear autograft, and proximal hamate autograft—for reconstructing the nonunions of the proximal pole of the scaphoid bone.
  • - Researchers used wireless sensors on the wrist to analyze carpal kinematics through cyclical movements, testing each reconstruction condition to evaluate differences in joint motion.
  • - The findings indicate that there are no significant differences in the motion of two specific wrist joints (scapholunate and lunocapitate) during various wrist movements across the three graft types, suggesting minimal impact on carpal kinematics from the type of graft used.

Lunate-capitate arthrodesis for scaphoid nonunion: a comparative study.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord

Orthopedic Surgery Department, Mansoura University, Algomhoria Street, Mansoura, 33516, Dakahlia, Egypt.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness of two surgical procedures (lunate-capitate fusion and four-corner fusion) for treating advanced wrist injuries known as SNAC II and III, focusing on functional and radiological outcomes and complications.
  • It includes a retrospective analysis of 65 patients who underwent surgery between 2015 and 2024, with a follow-up of at least two years, and compares the outcomes of the two fusion techniques.
  • Results showed that both groups experienced functional improvements post-surgery and had similar average healing times, indicating that both procedures could be effective in addressing SNAC injuries.
