Abstract: (149 Views)
Scaphoid fractures are common carpal fractures that often result in associated nonunion or delayed union. Traditional treatment typically involves prolonged immobilization with a cast, which can result in joint stiffness and reduced mobility. Currently, fixation with a headless compression screw is the standard treatment for scaphoid fractures, often combined with volar plates for added stability. Orthobiologic therapies, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), have shown promise in enhancing fracture union and improving long-term patient outcomes. However, the use of orthobiologics in treating scaphoid nonunion yields contradictory results, making it difficult to draw a definitive conclusion.
