Background: Negative ulnar variance can be a risk factor in Kienbock's disease, wrist instability, and scaphoid bone fracture. This study focused on the ulnar variance in wrists with scaphoid bone nonunion. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed posteroanterior wrist radiographs of 65 patients who...

Background: Preliminary reports have indicated that selected scaphoid nonunions—i.e., those that are well aligned and without extensive sclerosis or bone resorption at the nonunion site—can be treated effectively with internal fixation alone. We examined the feasibility of...

The scaphoid is by far the most commonly fractured carpal bone. Occult fractures, imperceptible on initial radiographs and a reputation for non-union make diagnosis and management challenging. The past few years have seen significant advances in the assessment and surgical treatment of scaphoid...
