Zusammenfassung:	We have reviewed 19 patients who have had Matti-Russe bone grafting and 16 patients who have had Herbert screw fixation for symptomatic non-union of the carpal scaphoid. The success rate in both groups was similar, 74 per cent in the Matti-Russe group and 71 per cent in the Herbert screw group. Only five patients in the Herbert screw group had bone grafts. The advantages and disadvantages of both methods of treatment are discussed.
