Non-union of the scaphoid: early and late management
1Royal London Hospital, London, UK.
Injury
|January 1, 1994
Abstract:
The natural history of the fractured scaphoid and its non-union are incompletely understood. Papers are not easily compared without a system of classification. Avascular necrosis is rarely a problem. Unstable fractures should be fixed early to avoid established non-union. Treatment of non-union by graft alone requires prolonged immobilization. Non-union is well treated by grafting and internal fixation. Carpal collapse should be sought and corrected.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...

01:15Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna
The ulna and radius are parallel bones of the antebrachium or the forearm. The ulna lies medially and consists of a bony tip called the olecranon process at its proximal end. This hook-like projection articulates with the olecranon fossa of the humerus and forms the "hinged" ulnohumeral part of the elbow joint. This joint facilitates forearm extension and flexion while preventing its hyperextension. Similarly, the coronoid process, another bony projection on the proximal/anterior side of the...
