Summary
This study introduces the Hintermann™ Distractor for scaphoid waist fracture fixation. This surgical technique improves stabilization, preparation, and compression for better patient outcomes in scaphoid non-union cases.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic surgery
- Hand surgery
- Traumatology
Background:
- Scaphoid fractures are common carpal injuries.
- Disruption of the proximal carpal row impairs wrist mechanics.
- Operative intervention is preferred for displaced fractures (≥2 mm).
- Untreated fractures can lead to non-union.
