The scaphoid staple offers a high union rate (94.7%) and low complication rate for scaphoid fractures, delayed union, nonunion, and avascular necrosis. Most patients return to work quickly after fixation with this surgical staple.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Traumatology
  • Surgical innovation

Background:

  • Scaphoid fractures are common wrist injuries.
  • Traditional fixation methods can have limitations.
  • The scaphoid staple presents an alternative fixation device.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the indications for scaphoid staple fixation.
  • To analyze the outcomes of scaphoid staple fixation.
  • To evaluate the complications associated with scaphoid staple fixation.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of scaphoid staple cases.
  • Inclusion of five articles comprising 188 patients.
  • Data collection on demographics, outcomes, and complications.
Keywords:

Main Results:

  • High union rate of 94.7% for scaphoid staple fixation.
  • Low complication rate of 9.0%, with 7.5% requiring hardware removal.
  • Faster return to work observed, averaging 9.8 weeks post-immobilization.

Conclusions:

  • Scaphoid staple fixation demonstrates high efficacy across various indications.
  • The procedure is technically straightforward and efficient.
  • Recommended for primary fractures, delayed union, nonunion, and avascular necrosis of the scaphoid.
