title: Non-union of the triquetrum with pseudoarthrosis: a case report.
abstract: We report a case of symptomatic non-union of the triquetrum with pseudoarthrosis in a 34-year-old man. Motion of the pseudoarthrosis was noted from radial to ulnar deviation. The patient was treated with bone grafting and screw fixation. The non-union healed and the symptoms subsided. The Mayo wrist score had improved from 65 (fair) to 90 (excellent).
