[Treatment results in fractures and pseudarthrosis of the scaphoid bone]
Abstract
In 258 patients with fractures and pseudarthroses of the carpal scaphoid the cause and type are given and the results of treatment are presented. It is verified that the majority of fresh fractures are united by plaster immobilisation. In fractures with delayed healing and in cases with non-union the best results are achieved by autologous bone grafting.
