[Treatment of scaphoid non-union with screw fixation (author's transl)]
Abstract:
The place of screw fixation in the management of scaphoid non-union is defined here. The authors emphasize, that there are definite indications for internal fixation with screw and this procedure is restricted to certain conditions. This conclusion is bases upon own experience and the literature too. Their own technique is described here. Out of 31 cases 26 (81%) healed well. Failures were due to faulty indication or technique.
