Abstract
Scaphoid nonunion is a common wrist injury characterized by delayed or failed bone healing. Surgical intervention often involves the use of bone grafts to promote healing. This study aims to assess the impact of this treatment approach on vascularization and bone integration in scaphoid nonunion cases. This study employed a retrospective radiographic analysis. A total of 200 patients who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Radiographic images taken before and after treatment were analyzed. Vascularization and bone integration were evaluated using standardized radiographic assessment criteria. Statistical methods were applied to analyze the collected data. Our findings indicate significant improvements in both vascularization and bone integration following bone graft treatment for scaphoid nonunion. Radiographic evidence demonstrated enhanced blood flow and better bone union in the treated patients. Quantitative measurements and qualitative assessments supported these positive outcomes. This radiographic study of 200 patients with scaphoid nonunion demonstrates that bone grafts positively impact vascularization and bone integration, contributing to improved outcomes in the management of this challenging wrist injury. These findings underscore the importance of considering bone grafts as a viable therapeutic option for scaphoid nonunion.
