Assessing the risk of re-fracture related to the percentage of partial union in scaphoid waist fractures: a finite element study

Assessing the risk of re-fracture related to the percentage of partial union in scaphoid waist fractures: a finite element study

Aims: There is ambiguity surrounding the degree of scaphoid union required to safely allow mobilization following scaphoid waist fracture. Premature mobilization could lead to refracture, but late mobilization may cause stiffness and delay return to normal function. This study aims to explore the ri...
