Abstract

All surgical procedures for the scaphoid are technically demanding. Nonunion, however, is associated with predictable adverse consequences, and union is predicated on effective fracture immobilization.

Patients are receptive to the approach, and the new fixation device has proven to be extremely effective in the first 5 years of clinical usage.
