Abstract

This study proves that fixation of acute scaphoid fractures result inpredictable satisfactory union rate and functional outcome. Also, it proves thatpercutaneous Herbert's screw insertion carries no risk of damage to soft tissuesor vascular supply and so painful screw of avascular necrosis. Also, using thevolar technique, it is easy to achieve and maintain reduction although theprocedure, easy to interpret the flourscopy images and it is easy to insert thescrew central in the scaphoid provided the fracture is not distal in location. Atlast, it is proved that percutaneous retrograde Herbert's screw fixation iseffective in achieving union and excellent functional outcome in acutescaphoid fractures.
