Scaphoid Non-Union Treated by Zaidemberg's Vascularized Bone Graft: About 30 Cases

Introduction: Scaphoid fractures evolves in 10% of cases to nonunion. Untreated, it progresses to arthrosis of the wrist that may compromise the function of the hand. The recently described vascularized

bone grafts have helped to expand the armamentarium of management of scaphoid nonunion. We wanted

to verify those data by studying the results of Zaidemberg’s graft made in our orthopedic department. Materials and methods: 30 scaphoid nonunion cases treated by a vascularized bone graft using

Zaidemberg’s procedure were studied retrospectively. The clinical criteria studied were: range of motion,

the Mayo Wrist Score, the Quick Dash, and PWRE. The radiographs have controlled the consolidation and performed a full radiometry.
