  • Title: Management of fractured scaphoid bone. A prospective study of 100 fractures.
    Author: Alho A, Kankaanpää.
    Journal: Acta Orthop Scand; 1975 Nov; 46(5):737-43. PubMed ID: 1199711.
    Abstract:
    One hundred fractured carpal scaphoids were immobilised alternatively in above-elbow and below-elbow casts. Preventing the pronation and supination of the forearm did not reduce the immobilisation time, which, with either type of cast, averaged 7 weeks, after exclusion of the fractures with delayed union. These eight fractures, which did not unite in 3 months, were operated on using a lag screw fixation, whereafter consolidation was achieved.
