DOI: 10.1016/j.hcl.2019.03.007
Abstract: Scaphoid proximal pole fractures remain a surgical challenge because of high propensity for nonunion, osteonecrosis, and ultimately carpal collapse. Options for management of nonsalvageable proximal pole fractures include non-vascularized bone grafts, vascularized pedicled bone grafts,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/15589447231156210
Abstract: BACKGROUND Small proximal pole scaphoid nonunions present a clinical challenge influenced by fragment size, vascular compromise, deforming forces exerted through the scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIL), and potential articular fragmentation. Osteochondral autograft options for proximal pole… read more here.

DOI: 10.2106/jbjs.rvw.19.00181
Abstract: » Optimal management of nonunions of the proximal pole of the scaphoid is controversial and dependent on many patient and pathophysiologic considerations. » If the proximal pole subchondral bone support is sufficient, options include open… read more here.
