Description

Scaphoid Nonunions are challenging injuries of the wrist that require careful diagnosis and a deliberate surgical strategy incorporating account debridement, bone graft strategies, various fixation constructs, and often prolonged immobilization. The expert faculty will discuss how to effectively diagnose and evaluate scaphoid nonunions and best determine surgical strategies. In particular, the faculty will emphasize vascularized and non-vascularized bone grafting options as well as various fixation options including headless crews and locking plates.

• To understand the various bone grafting options, vascularized and non-vascularized.
