Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Hand surgery
  • Wrist biomechanics

Background:

  • Scaphoid fractures are common wrist injuries.
  • Nonunion and malunion of the scaphoid can lead to significant disability.
  • Accurate assessment and effective surgical correction are crucial for restoring wrist function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the historical evolution of scaphoid nonunion and malunion assessment.
  • To describe current preoperative assessment, planning, and surgical techniques for scaphoid deformity.
  • To present midterm and long-term outcomes of interpositional wedge grafting for scaphoid restoration.

Main Methods:

  • Historical review of scaphoid nonunion/malunion literature.
  • Description of contemporary preoperative assessment and surgical planning.

    • Main Results:

    • The article outlines the progression of understanding scaphoid deformities.
    • Detailed description of surgical steps for anatomical restoration.
    • Presentation of functional and radiographic outcomes from interpositional wedge grafting.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective management of scaphoid nonunion and malunion requires a thorough understanding of its evolution.
    • Interpositional wedge grafting is a viable technique for restoring scaphoid anatomy and function.
    • Midterm and long-term results support the use of this grafting method for scaphoid reconstruction.
