Clinical efficacy of open palmar approach combined with distal radial cancellous bone transplantation and internal fixation in the treatment of scaphoid nonunion

The open palmar approach combined with distal radial cancellous bone transplantation and internal fixation is effective in treating scaphoid nonunion. The procedure is minimally invasive, allowing complete exposure of the fractured end of the scaphoid and the distal radius through the same incision. It facilitates easy cleaning of the fracture end, as well as convenient bone harvesting, grafting, and internal fixation. The postoperative efficacy is reliable, demonstrating significant advantages in the treatment of scaphoid nonunion.
