Repair in this environment can lead to tension across the repair site as well as necessary flexion of the interphalangeal joint to accommodate primary repair.

Operative management is indicated with unstable fractures and often for nondisplaced waist fractures to decrease time to union and return to work/sport. Screw placement within the central axis of the scaphoid is paramount and correlates with outcomes. Assessment of intrascaphoid screw placement is classically done via intraoperative fluoroscopy. An additional fluoroscopic view is presented to assist in confirming implant positioning. Along with the standard anterioposterior, lateral, pronated oblique, and \"scaphoid\" view we obtain a \"standing peanut\" view for assessment of central screw placement. This view also allows for further evaluation of center/center positioning and better assessment of fixation crossing the fracture into the proximal pole. The \"standing peanut\" view is best obtained in a sequential manner beginning with the forearm in neutral rotation. First, the forearm is then supinated 30 degrees; next, the wrist is placed at 45 degrees of ulnar deviation. Then finally, 10 degrees of wrist extension. We utilize this additional intraoperative view in conjunction with the standard fluoroscopic views for assessing and ensuring center-center implant positioning, particularly within the proximal pole. When ensuring center-center positioning, we prefer this view as an adjunct view to the standard fluoroscopic views intraoperatively. It provides a beneficial view of the proximal pole delineating the number of screw threads that have obtained proximal pole purchase. We have found it particularly useful in the setting of scaphoid waist fracture nonunion with the classic 'humpback' deformity after correction with volar interposition grafting. Standard radiographic views may be misinterpreted regarding implant positioning if there remains any residual flexion.

Currently, there is no gold standard treatment. We present a novel technique using Arthrex Mini Tightrope for DRUJ stabilization. In this case series, a 1.6 mm K-wire was passed transversely through the distal ulna and radius. The Mini Tightrope was inserted into the end of the K-wire and pulled through the bone tunnels. Appropriate tension was achieved to stabilize the joint according to individual laxity comparable to the contralateral side. Five patients (3 males and 2 females) comprised this pilot series, with a mean age of 27.1 years. All sustained a traumatic injury at an average of 12.4 months before surgery (range: 5 to 32 mo). In addition, 3 patients had central triangular fibrocartilage complex tears treated with arthroscopy at the time of Mini Tightrope placement. While one patient was lost to follow-up after 7 weeks postoperative due to incarceration, 4 patients demonstrated coronal and sagittal stability in the context of DRUJ motion and a satisfactory range of motion. The mean time for the return to work for the two patients who were laborers or normal activity postoperatively was 5.2 weeks (range: 1 to 16.4 wk). Unrestricted activity was generally allowed 8 weeks postoperatively but varied by patient. The same 4 patients underwent hardware removal at an average of 31 weeks (range: 15 to 44 wk).
