Purpose

Scaphoid non-unions can result in debilitating wrist problems. This study compared treatment of scaphoid non-unions using either a non vascularised (NVBG) or a vascularised bone graft (VBG).

Method

Twenty one cases of scaphoid non-unions were treated by two surgeons between 2005 and 2008 using either a NVBG from the iliac crest or a VBG from the radius based on a 1,2 intercompartmental supraretinacular artery pedicle.
