A recent study from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, has reported on the spontaneous union of a neglected proximal pole scaphoid fracture, a common carpal bone fracture that typically occurs due to trauma. Neglected scaphoid fractures can lead to long-term complications, such as degenerative changes. The study challenges the need for acute aggressive surgical intervention in such fractures and presents a case of spontaneous union in a mature adult. The report includes radiographs, magnetic resonance imaging scan images, and a review of the available literature. For more information, the full article can be accessed for free.

A recent report from the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City discusses the use of non-vascularized bone grafts for scaphoid nonunions, a condition that requires stable fixation and reconstruction of bone defects. The article describes a surgical technique called the hybrid Russe procedure, which utilizes a corticocancellous strut from the volar aspect of the distal radius to correct flexion deformities in scaphoid nonunions. The study found that this procedure resulted in healing of 17 scaphoid fracture nonunions in an average time of 15 weeks. The research concludes that there is no significant difference in union rates between vascularized and non-vascularized grafts for scaphoid nonunions, and the choice of fixation depends on the surgeon's preference.

A patent application has been filed for a method of treating bone fractures using low-intensity pulsed ultrasound. The treatment involves administering 30 continuous treatments of ultrasound to the bone, and it is particularly beneficial for patients with comorbidities such as smoking, diabetes, obesity, or cardiovascular disease. The method also includes tracking the patient's treatment progress and can involve administering up to 120 continuous treatments. The goal of the treatment is to promote complete healing of the bone. This patent application provides valuable information for researchers interested in bone healing and the use of therapeutic ultrasound. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by researchers at Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan has found that a small ratio of proximal to distal bone fragments is a risk factor for scaphoid nonunion. The study examined 78 patients who underwent surgery for scaphoid nonunion and found that a proximal fragment ratio less than 0.66 was associated with persistent nonunion. The researchers concluded that treatment for scaphoid nonunion with a small proximal fragment ratio should take into account the anatomy, blood flow, and carpal kinematics of the scaphoid bone. This study provides valuable insights for surgeons and healthcare professionals in treating scaphoid nonunion. [Extracted from the article]

A new study conducted at Hornsby Ku-Ring-Gai Hospital in Australia explores the optimal management of scaphoid nonunion, a condition where the scaphoid bone in the wrist fails to heal properly. The study describes a technique involving arthroscopic assessment and debridement, reduction of deformity, autologous cancellous bone grafting, and stabilization using a neutralization screw. The study found that this technique achieved union in 13 out of 14 patients, with significant improvements in pain and range of motion. The researchers concluded that this technique is simple, reproducible, and offers advantages over other treatment methods. [Extracted from the article]

A method using a wrist arthrodesis plate according to claim 1 for fusion between carpal bones and radius, the method comprising: fastening the proximal region of the plate to one of the radius and a carpal bone of the proximal row, and fastening the distal region of the plate to precisely one carpal bone of the distal row of carpal bones. In particular, a distal region can additionally lie also on one of the os scaphoideum, os lunatum or os triquetrum bones (i.e. the proximal row of the carpal bones) and also be screwed to one of these bones. A distal end region, which comprises a distal-most location of the plate, is of such a shape and size that the distal end region can be placed precisely, and only, on one bone from the distal row of carpal bones (i.e. the carpal bones of the group comprising os trapezium, os trapezoideum, os capitatum, and os hamatum), without covering part of the laterally adjacent bones.

"While an adjudication process has long been proposed and described for X-rays, this study outlines a rational approach to CT scan adjudication for bone fracture healing. "In a recent randomized control trial (RCT), we used serial computed tomography (CT) imaging to visualize fracture healing of the scaphoid as a primary outcome. [Extracted from the article]

The article reports on a study from Belgium which discovered a link between navicular bone shape and the presence of distal border fragments that may be connected with navicular disease. Researchers studied the radiographs of several sound Belgian Warmbood stallions that were being assessed as breeding animals. Sarah Claerhoudt of Ghent University stated that the clinical implications of the fragments remains unclear. Researchers conclude that distal border fragments may be due to unfavorable loading of the navicular area.
