Résumé
The study compared the impact of the Kirschner wires versus Herbert screw fixation on the rate of union, time to union, correction of deformity, and clinical outcome in adults with unstable scaphoid waist fracture nonunions without avascular necrosis. We prospectively randomized 122 patients to undergo corticocancellous iliac bone grafting and internal fixation either with multiple Kirschner wires or Herbert screw. Radiographs, clinical outcome measures (pain, range of motion, and grip strength), and the Quick DASH score were taken pre- and post-operatively. The rate of the scaphoid union in the Kirschner wire group was 91% versus 88% in the Herbert group. No difference was detected between the two groups with respect to the time to union, deformity correction, pain analysis, range of motion, grip strength, return to work, and complications. Using of multiple Kirschner wires as a fixation method for unstable scaphoid waist fracture nonunion that was treated by open reduction and corticocancellous iliac bone grafting had a shorter operative time and lower cost as compared with the Herbert screw fixation. Herbert screw fixation was technically more demanding in terms of technique than K-wires. However, because of easy application of Kirschner wires, and low cost, especially in developing countries, it may be a good alternative to Herbert screw.
