Abstract EN
Nonunion can occur relatively frequently after scaphoid fracture and appears to be associated with severity of injury.
There have been a number of techniques described for bone grafting with or without screw fixation to facilitate fracture healing.
However, even with operative fixation of scaphoid fractures with bone grafting nonunion or malunion rates of 5 to 10 percent are still reported.
This is the first report of an anatomic locking plate for scaphoid fracture repair in a 25-year-old right hand dominant healthy male.
