Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of arthroscopic bone grafting for the treatment of scaphoid nonunion. This was a retrospective, multicenter study involving 31 patients with scaphoid nonunion, all treated arthroscopically. The procedure included harvesting of a cancellous bone graft from the distal radius, arthroscopic debridement of the nonunion site, injection of the bone graft under arthroscopic control, and retrograde percutaneous fixation.
At an average follow-up of 11.7 months, 90.3% of the fractures had consolidated at a mean time of 12.2 weeks. The Visual Analog Scale for pain decreased from 4.9 to 1.3, and strength increased from 24.2 kg to 32.3 kg. The Mayo Wrist Score improved from 53.9 to 79, and the Quick Disability of Arm Shoulder and Hand score improved from 40.5 to 10.3.
This is a minimally invasive technique that preserves scaphoid vascularization, with results comparable to other techniques.
期刊介绍:
As the official publication of the French, Belgian and Swiss Societies for Surgery of the Hand, as well as of the French Society of Rehabilitation of the Hand & Upper Limb, ''Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation'' - formerly named "Chirurgie de la Main" - publishes original articles, literature reviews, technical notes, and clinical cases. It is indexed in the main international databases (including Medline). Initially a platform for French-speaking hand surgeons, the journal will now publish its articles in English to disseminate its author''s scientific findings more widely. The journal also includes a biannual supplement in French, the monograph of the French Society for Surgery of the Hand, where comprehensive reviews in the fields of hand, peripheral nerve and upper limb surgery are presented.
Organe officiel de la Société française de chirurgie de la main, de la Société française de Rééducation de la main (SFRM-GEMMSOR), de la Société suisse de chirurgie de la main et du Belgian Hand Group, indexée dans les grandes bases de données internationales (Medline, Embase, Pascal, Scopus), Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation - anciennement titrée Chirurgie de la main - publie des articles originaux, des revues de la littérature, des notes techniques, des cas clinique. Initialement plateforme d''expression francophone de la spécialité, la revue s''oriente désormais vers l''anglais pour devenir une référence scientifique et de formation de la spécialité en France et en Europe. Avec 6 publications en anglais par an, la revue comprend également un supplément biannuel, la monographie du GEM, où sont présentées en français, des mises au point complètes dans les domaines de la chirurgie de la main, des nerfs périphériques et du membre supérieur.
