| Popis: | Disruptive forces from wrist trauma are thought to fracture bone or disrupt ligaments. Two cases are presented to demonstrate the simultaneous occurrence of acute scaphoid fracture and scapholunate gap. Recommended treatment in acute cases is open reduction and internal fixation of the fracture and open stabilization of the scaphoid. In chronic cases, we recommend open reduction and internal fixation with bone graft to the scaphoid nonunion combined with fusion of the scaphoid-trapezium-trapezoid joint. |
