    Summary

    Avascular necrosis of the scaphoid is difficult to treat. A novel technique using a hamate autograft shows excellent outcomes for reconstructing the proximal pole of the scaphoid.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Hand Surgery
    • Musculoskeletal Research

    Background:

    • Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the scaphoid's proximal pole, often resulting from fracture, presents significant treatment challenges.
    • Existing treatments for scaphoid AVN have variable success rates and potential donor site morbidities.

    Observation:

    • This case report details a specific surgical technique for reconstructing the proximal pole of the scaphoid.

    Findings:

    • The described technique utilizes an ipsilateral proximal pole of the hamate autograft.
    • Excellent radiographic and clinical outcomes were observed at 8 months postoperatively.

    Implications:

    • This hamate autograft technique offers a promising solution for scaphoid avascular necrosis reconstruction.
