“…However, reduction of perioperative morbidity and collateral damage is of utmost importance . Inferior screw positioning and cortical breach account for up to 30% of complications leading to non‐union, osteonecrosis, osteoarthritis, pain and inferior functional limitations outcome . As the biomechanical advantage of a centrally positioned screw is well known, accuracy is a matter of importance .…”

“…Minimal‐invasive percutaneous screw fixation represents the gold standard in treatment of dislocated scaphoid fractures . In literature different percutaneous techniques for screw placement with either closed or open reduction using a dorsal or volar approach are reported . However, no significant differences were shown in terms of union and functional outcome .…”
Compared with the standard fluoroscopic technique, the ENS method used in this study showed higher accuracy, less complications, required less operation and radiation exposure time.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
