Abstract:
The Matti-Russe technique yields a 95% success rate in treating scaphoid non-unions diagnosed in the first years after trauma and without osteoarthrosis of the radiocarpal joint. Between October 1981 and December 1989, 215 patients were treated by Matti-Russe procedure at the University Hospital of "Bergmannsheil" Bochum. In ten cases, this operation did not lead to osseous consolidation. The results are presented and discussed.
