Scaphoid
ORIF & corrective inlay graft
Fernandez
- Pre op planning of correction required
- Approach volar side
- Cut wedge of non union out, drill 1mm holes into proximal pole if avascular
- Open volar surface with laminar spreader & simultaneously reduce DISI by pushing on volar corner of lunate
- Cut unicortical graft triangular of trapezoidal depending on lengthening required
- Place graft, K wires or Herberts screw
Tomiano
- uses tricortical grafts
- Reduces DISI by flexing wrist, pin lunate to radius, then supinate & extend wrist to address scaphoid
Stark
- Cuts trough like Matti-Russe but opens volar surface to accept longer graft
