Percutaneous Screw Fixation for Scaphoid Nonunion in Skeletally Immature Patients: A Report of Two Cases

Nonunion of the scaphoid waist in skeletally immature patients is rarely diagnosed. We report 2 cases of scaphoid nonunion in skeletally immature patients who underwent percutaneous screw fixation without bone graft. In stable nonunions with minimal sclerosis, percutaneous screw fixation without bon...

Zusammenfassung:	Nonunion of the scaphoid waist in skeletally immature patients is rarely diagnosed. We report 2 cases of scaphoid nonunion in skeletally immature patients who underwent percutaneous screw fixation without bone graft. In stable nonunions with minimal sclerosis, percutaneous screw fixation without bone graft can be an alternative to the conventional open procedure in skeletally immature patients, with successful union and clinical outcome.
