ABSTRACT
This technique is appropriate for any acute scaphoid fracture in
the waist or proximal pole. Many angular or translational
displacements can be corrected and rigidly fixed percuta-
neously. Fractures of the distal pole may be more
appropriately treated conservatively or with volar fixation to
maximize screw purchase in the distal fragment. We rec-
ommend starting with nondisplaced fractures to establish the
skill set needed for more difficult displaced fractures.
