Scaphoid Reconstruction.

Surgical strategies for scaphoid nonunions become more complex based on time from injury to treatment. The decision-making process, however, can follow a logical sequence. Scaphoid nonunions less than 1 year after trauma and no carpal malalignment can be treated with percutaneous screw fixation under fluoroscopic and/or arthroscopic guidance. Reinterventions or patients with avascular proximal poles that do not need substantial grafts are reliably treated with pedicle vascularized bone grafts. Resection of the distal pole of the scaphoid is a good option in old nonunions or after a failed scaphoid procedures. When there are radioscaphoid degenerative changes, salvage procedures such as proximal row carpectomy (PRC) should be considered.
