摘要
The computed tomography scans of both the injured and the normal wrists of nine patients with a scaphoid nonunion of 5 to 120 months' duration were used to create three-dimensional computer models. When the computer images of the normal and the contralateral fractured scaphoids were superimposed, it was possible to calculate the volume of bone that was lost as a result of the injury and its failure to heal, as well as the angular relationship of the fracture components to one another. The amount of the scaphoid bone that was lost varied from 6% to 15% of bone volume and did not show a linear correlation with the duration of the nonunion. The configuration of the missing bone was consistent and exhibited a prismatic shape whose base is quadrilateral and faces palmarly. The proximal scaphoid fracture component is extended, radially deviated, and supinated in relation to its distal fracture component. The consistent fracture deformity and the configuration of the bony defect in the scaphoid waist nonunions should be helpful in the understanding and treatment of the condition.
