Update on Management of Scaphoid Fractures | Journal CME Article-43260

Video Transcription

Video Summary

A 29-year-old male with progressive wrist pain was diagnosed with a chronic scaphoid nonunion and deformities. Preoperative CT scans confirmed the need for surgery. A volar surgical approach was taken to correct the humpback deformity using a corticocaine cell's graft from the volar radius. The graft was harvested carefully, positioned with a compression screw and a derotational K-wire to prevent extrusion. Intraoperative imaging showed successful restoration of scaphoid height. Postoperatively, a plaster splint was applied, and CT confirmed union three months later, before increasing the patient's activity level.
