Abstract
- Various bone grafting techniques have been reported for scaphoid nonunions. We describe surgical technique of osteosynthesis with bone graft using arthroscopic technique and percutaneous fixation as a minimal invasive procedure. Nine patients with scaphoid nonunion were treated with this technique, resulting in successful union at a mean of 10 weeks.
