[Results 37 years after insertion of an acrylic implant for scaphoid pseudoarthrosis].
Prosthetic treatment by means of a scaphoid implant was described by Swanson in 1970. The authors report the long-term results of pseudoarthrosis of the scaphoid treated by an acrylic implant at the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute in Bologna in 1956. Only one other similar case of long-term treatment by an artificial Vitallium (r) prosthesis was found in the literature.
