Abstract

Nirottam Singh, Ashok Meena, D. S. Meena

The scaphoid is the most commonly fractured carpal bone. These fractures are difficult to diagnose and manage. Degenerative changes occur if scaphoid fracture non-union if left untreated. This study evaluates the outcome of scaphoid non-union treated with K wires and bone grafting. The aim of this study was to evaluate functional and radiological outcome in scaphoid non-union treated with Kirshner wire and autologous bone grafts.
