Abstract

Scaphoid fractures are the most encountered carpal fracture. Unstable fractures with substantial comminution or bone loss, as well as scaphoid nonunions, may benefit from fixation using volar locking plates. This article presents a surgical technique for open reduction and internal fixation of scaphoid fractures using a volar locking plate and a non-vascularized autogenous cancellous bone graft from the distal radius.
