Scaphoid proximal pole fractures remain a surgical challenge because of the high
propensity for nonunion, osteonecrosis, and ultimately carpal collapse. The proximal 70% to …

Background: Small proximal pole scaphoid nonunions present a clinical challenge
influenced by fragment size, vascular compromise, deforming forces exerted through the …

Purpose The medial femoral trochlea flap has been described as a method of scaphoid
proximal pole nonunion reconstruction when the proximal pole is deemed nonsalvageable …

Purpose To quantify the similarity of the surface topography of the proximal hamate and
proximal pole of the scaphoid for nonunion reconstruction. Methods Using previously …

Scaphoid proximal pole destruction remains a surgical challenge owing to its high
propensity for nonunion and osteonecrosis. The hemi-hamate graft has shown promising …

Background: The objective of this study was to determine whether reconstruction of the
proximal pole of the scaphoid with a proximal hamate graft restores native carpal kinematics …

Introduction The costo-osteochondral autograft, vascularized medial femoral trochlear
osteochondral autograft, and proximal hamate autograft have been used for the …

Objective Recently, authors have investigated using the proximal hamate as osteochondral
autograft for proximal pole scaphoid reconstruction in the case of nonunion with avascular …

Purpose The clinical relevance of scaphoid malunion is controversial because the
biomechanical sequelae remain poorly understood. In this computational study, the effect of …

Purpose Treatment of proximal scaphoid fractures remains a challenge with a risk of
nonunions and avascular necrosis due to its retrograde blood supply. The ipsilateral …
