Abstract
We present the case of a 24-year-old man who sustained a scaphoid fracture in the presence of congenital scaphotrapezial and lunotriquetral coalitions. As the fracture progressed to a nonunion, a screw osteosynthesis was performed. The altered biomechanics caused by the two coalitions necessitated a dorso-proximal surgical approach, and two screws were implanted to prevent rotational instability. The scaphoid fracture healed entirely.
