Abstract
We reported 6 case of carpal scaphoid non-union. The period between the injury to the surgery was ten years or more; averaging 17 years. Four scaphoids were classified as SLAC stage 3, one as SLAC stage 1, and 1 had no degenerative change of the radiocarpal joint or intercarpal joints. The latter scaphoid was successfully united after osteosynthesis with bone graft. The SLAC stage 1 scaphoid continued in non-union. The remaining 4 scaphoids, SLAC stage 3, were indicated for partial or total wrist arthrodesis. In all cases wrist pain decreased, and functional status improved.
