Abstract
The treatment of scaphoid fracture is determined by the amount of fracture displacement and stability. All acceptable closed or open methods consist of long term immobilisation and secondary tissue damage. The trapezio-lunate mini external fixation for acute scaphoid fracture is a novel method which does not require any extra immobilization or secondary tissue damage. Two cases of trapezial-pin breakage in trapezio-lunate external fixation of scaphoid fractures which resulted in non-union are described. Careful manufacturing and clinical application are mandatory to avoid this previously undescribed complication.
