  • Title: Ipsilateral fractures of the distal radius and scaphoid treated by Herbert screw and external skeletal fixation. A report of two cases.
    Author: Richards RR, Ghose T, McBroom RJ.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1992 Sep; (282):219-21. PubMed ID: 1516316.
    Abstract:
    Two patients with comminuted, displaced fractures of the distal radius associated with ipsilateral, undisplaced scaphoid fractures were treated by internal fixation of the scaphoid fracture with a Herbert screw in association with external fixation of the distal radial fracture. One of the patients had a limited open reduction of the distal radius combined with bone grafting. Both patients had satisfactory results. Internal fixation of the scaphoid is indicated if distraction is applied to the carpus to treat an associated fracture of the distal radius, even if the scaphoid fracture is undisplaced.
