Abstract
In treating scaphoid nonunion, we have developed a technique of bone grafting and elongation of the scaphoid stabilizing the construct with K wires without compression. Bony union was achieved in the large majority of scaphoids as demonstrated on computed tomography (CT) scans. We advocate slight lengthening of the scaphoid with bone graft and K-wire fixation without compression of the grafted bone when treating scaphoid waist nonunion.
