Our experience in the treatment of 50 scaphoid nonunions treated with Herbert screw fixation is reviewed. Success rates fell off as the duration of nonunion before treatment increased. However, this appeared to be related to the increased incidence of avascular necrosis with time rather than simply the factor of time alone. In this series the major adverse determinants for outcome were avascular necrosis and a history of previous surgery for nonunion. Failure to graft in a selected group with an intact cartilaginous envelope or a stable firm fibrous union did not affect results. The heterogeneous nature of any series of scaphoid nonunions is emphasized and the difficulties in comparing results with cohorts unmatched for the various adverse factors discussed is stressed.

Background: Fractures of the proximal pole of the scaphoid can be difficult to heal because of its limited vascular supply. Furthermore, nonunion with avascular necrosis and secondary fragmentation makes surgical reconstruction a challenging procedure. Method: We describe a technique and report the outcome of a proximal hamate autograft to treat a proximal pole scaphoid nonunion with avascular necrosis. Results: At 3.5 years post reconstruction, the patient remains asymptomatic with union of his scaphoid reconstruction without any evidence of scapholunate instability. Conclusion: Proximal hamate autograft is a useful technique for addressing proximal pole scaphoid nonunions with avascular necrosis.
