Scaphoid non-union healed without a bone graft, percutaneous fixation only (pictures from before surgery -> union 3 months on). Thought I would post seeing as the majority of the scaphoid non-union posts involve bone grafting.
Overall I'm very pleased with the outcome. Just posting to help raise awareness as it has been a very stressful, long journey. Whilst I do still have the original X-Ray images from the day I fractured it, they're on a disc so I doubt I can get the pictures up haha. Context: Fractured my scaphoid in a climbing accident, X-Ray missed the fracture, found out it was fractured 4 months later, doctor said we could get away with not doing a bone graft, ultimately it is virtually healed 3 months on from surgery.
