Carpal scaphoid fracture nonunion in children

Abstract:
Four new cases of carpal scaphoid nonunion in children are presented. This rare injury is characterized by delay in treatment of the scaphoid fracture or incorrect immobilization. The Matti-Russe procedure was performed with autograft harvested from the proximal cubitus, achieving complete consolidation in every patient. No complications occurred and there was no significantly limited mobility. The author speculates about the posibility of partial or complete consolidation of the scaphoid fracture without treatment as a part of the natural history of this fracture in children.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
