Treatment of Scaphoid Nonunion by Volar Inlay Distal Radius Bone GraftColumbus, Ohio
New Orleans, Louisiana.
Volar inlay corticocancellous bone grafting is an accepted method of treatment for symptomatic nonunion of the carpal scaphoid. Performance of this procedure with a radial graft without styloidectomy yields results comparable to those obtained with iliac grafting. This permits the operation to be performed through a single incision. The elimination of the need for iliac dissection avoids morbidity associated with the iliac exposure.
