PurposeScaphoid nonunion can occur in both non-operative and operatively treated scaphoid fractures. Without treatment, this can lead to a predictable pattern of carpal collapse and degenerative arthritic change and patients can experience both pain and functional loss in the early and late phases of progression. An operative technique with a high success rate for union is important. This paper describes a technique for treatment of scaphoid nonunion with K-wire fixation and iliac crest cancellous bone graft.
