Abstract
The scaphoid is predisposed to nonunion after fracture because of its tenuous blood supply and propensity for delayed diagnosis. Many surgical techniques exist and continue to be developed to treat scaphoid nonunions. However, with variability in patient presentation, differences in nonunion location and type, and multiple bone graft sources and fixation options, selecting a surgical strategy proves a difficult task. The goal of this article is to provide an updated review of surgical strategies used to treat scaphoid nonunions. Particular attention is paid to methods of fixation as well as the ongoing debate over indications for structural and vascularized bone grafting.
