Abstract

Objective: this study was conducted to find out the Radiological Outcome of Scaphoid Nonunion treated with modified Matti-Russe Technique. Materials and methods; this study was carried out at the Orthopedics department Bacha khan Medical complex from January 2020 to January 2021. Participants in our research consisted of all age groups and genders with scaphoid non-unions who came to our hospital's orthopedic outpatient department. A total of 20 patients of Scaphoid non-union were surgically treated through modified Matti-Russe procedure of bone grafting. Out of which male were 17(85%) females were 3(15%). Right sided Scaphoid non-union was examined in 12(60%) patients and left in 8(40%) individuals. Dominant hand was investigated in 14(70%) whereas 6(30%) participants had non-dominant hand. The most prevalent factor for Scaphoid fracture was Road traffic accident 14(70%) followed by fall from tree 4(20%) and fall from height in 2(10%). Scaphoid waist fracture nonunion was observed in 13(65%) individuals and distal pole in 7(35%) individuals. The average duration since fracture at the time of presentation was 17 ±4.49 weeks, with a range of 12 to 18.3 weeks. At the time of presentation, the mean period since fracture was 17 ±4.49 weeks, with a range of 12 to 18.3 weeks.
