MRI Assessment of the Proximal Pole of the Scaphoid after Internal Fixation with a Titanium Alloy Herbert Screw

M. GANAPATHI, R. SAVAGE and A. R. JONES

From the Royal Gwent Hospital, Newport, Gwent, UK

Correspondence: Mr R Savage, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Royal Gwent Hospital, Newport, Gwent, NP20, 2UB, UK. E-mail: robsavager{at}yahoo.com

We report a series of scaphoid fractures fixed with titanium alloy Herbert screws in which postoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was used to assess the marrow signal in the proximal pole of the scaphoid and thus detect the presence of avascular necrosis. The artefact produced by the titanium alloy Herbert screw did not preclude this assessment.
