[A comparison of different treatment methods of pseudarthroses and recurrent pseudarthroses of the scaphoid].
From 1981 to 1990 110 scaphoid non-unions were operated on in our clinic. The period from 1986 to 1990 was followed up. During this time, 45 cases were surgically treated: 27 by Matti-Russe plasty, 11 by Herbert screw, and 7 by vascularized radial bone graft. The following criteria were compared: 1. Radiological signs of healing; 2. Period of immobilization; 3. Clinical results. The shortest period of immobilization and best wrist function was observed in patients treated by Herbert screw.
