Volar Percutaneous Fixation by Herbert Screw Versus Conservative Treatment for Stable Waist Scaphoid Fracture

Background: scaphoid waist fractures can be fixed percutaneously as opposed to being cast-immobilizedEvaluation of the results of patients with stable waist scaphoid fractures following percutaneous fixationwith a Herbert screw or cast immobilisation. Methods: A total of 30 patients, age from 19 to 60, wereincluded in this prospective study at the orthopaedic department's hand and microsurgery unit at SohagUniversity Hospital. The extent of mobility, the strength of the grasp, the ability to return to work, and theradiological assessment were checked. Results: Follow up were 12 months. Patients who received volarpercutaneous fixation experienced an earlier union than those who had conservative treatment with acast. Conclusion: An earlier time to union, a rapid return to daily activities, and an earlier wrist motionrecovery were all made possible by percutaneous treatment of acute stable waist scaphoid fractures.Compared to the operative group, the conservative group has a greater nonunion rate
