Nonunion and avascular necrosis after scaphoid fractures continue to be problem sequelae
because of unrecognized injuries, inadequate immobilization techniques, or insufficient …

We investigated the extra-and intraosseous blood supply of the distal radius and ulna
(descriptive anatomy) and defined potential vascularized pedicled bone grafts to the carpal …

We used a free vascularized small periosteal bone graft to treat scaphoid nonunion. The
graft consisted of periosteum, full-thickness cortex, and the underlying cancellous bone and …

We report the use of a bone graft harvested from the palmar and ulnar aspect of the distal
radius and vascularized by the palmar carpal artery for the treatment of scaphoid nonunion …

Fourteen patients with established scaphoid nonunion were treated with vascularized
pedicle bone grafting. All nonunions healed at a mean of 11.1 weeks (range, 8–16 weeks) …

In order to elucidate the history of scaphoid nonunion and to evaluate whether or not the
problem has been solved, we have reviewed the literature from 1928 to 2003 for union rates …
