Compression screw fixation without bone grafting for scaphoid fibrous nonunion.
Bone graft is often recommended as an adjuvant for treatment of scaphoid nonunions. However, recent literature has suggested that fibrous nonunion may be suited to treatment with rigid fixation without bone grafting. This work reported on outcomes of compression screw fixation for established scaphoid fibrous nonunions without bone graft. ⋯ Therapeutic Level IV, retrospective case series.
