Abstract

Dual construct fixation has been increasingly used in complex peri-articular or peri-prosthetic long bone fractures, those with poor bone quality and in revision situations. We describe the utilisation of a screw-plate construct in the setting of a juxta-articular distal pole scaphoid fracture, review the literature and provide recommendations for future use. Level of Evidence: Level V (Therapeutic).

Keywords: Case report; Dual construct; Fracture; Plate; Scaphoid; Screw.
