Percutaneous screw fixation for scaphoid fractures

Abstract: Long-term results of percutaneous treatment for 36 scaphoid fractures, types B1 and B2 according to Herbert, are reported. Outcomes were satisfactory in nearly all cases. In three patients, the screw was too long and had to be removed, and pseudoarthrosis developed in one patient. Consolidation was observed after 6-8 weeks, less than literature reports for immobilization with casts. The percutaneous approach is particularly suitable for younger patients who work or play sports.

“…20,29,33,39,40 Percutaneous placement of a headless, compression screw is an alternative approach to open treatment, usually reserved for nondisplaced scaphoid fractures and has been shown to be highly effective in these cases. 19,22,30,32 Potential advantages of the percutaneous approach include decreased morbidity, earlier return of function, less risk of violating the already tenuous blood supply to the scaphoid, and a shorter time to union. 22 Prior technique articles have included "reducible" or "minimally displaced" scaphoid fractures as being an indication for the percutaneous approach.…”

Kür-zere Arbeitsunfähigkeit, schnellere Wiedererlangung der Funktion, sogar kürze-re Durchbauungszeiten werden beschrieben [4,5,6,7].Die Therapie von frischen nicht-und minimal-dislozierten Skaphoidfrakturen bleibt ein aktuelles Diskussionsthema in der Handchirurgie. Besonders wichtig ist die korrekte Bestimmung der Frakturmorphologie und des Grads der Dislokation, um die korrekte Therapie abzuleiten.…”
