Abstract
Internal fixation reduces the problems associated with prolonged cast immobilization in minimum displaced scaphoid fractures and allows for early return to activity. Traditional open surgery is associated with a high amount of complications. The use of little diameter cannulated screws has made percutaneous fixation possible. The success of percutaneous treatment is dependent on an accurate assessment of the fracture, and very accurate surgical technique. We describe the percutaneous method of treating acute scaphoid waist fractures through a volar approach and touch on the outcome.
