title: [Fractures of the proximal pole of the scaphoid bone. Anatomo-clinical and therapeutic entity].
abstract: The authors present their anatomical and clinical findings concerning fractures and nonunions of the carpal scaphoid. They stress the proximal pole type I et II of the Schernberg (type C of Herbert) classification, and they suggest isolation of an anatomical entity, by the study of blood vessels, the ligament connections, and especially the pathomechanics as well as a clinical entity, by the mechanism of fracture and the surgical treatment, emphasizing the proximo-distal screwing, with excellent results. They present a series of 29 patients, with type I or II proximal fractures, either fresh or non-unions.
