The Herbert screw for scaphoid fractures. A multicentre study.

T D Bunker, P B McNamee, T D Scott

    The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British Volume
    |August 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    The Herbert screw effectively treated 50 scaphoid fractures and non-unions, achieving a 92% union rate for fresh fractures and fracture-dislocations. This surgical technique, while demanding, yields excellent results for scaphoid injury management.
