Résumé
The bone graft vascularized by the 1,2 intercompartmental supraretinacular artery (1,2 ICSRA) placed on the scaphoid by a dorsal approach is a technique used to treat scaphoid nonunions with avascular necrosis of the proximal pole and without significant bone loss or carpus collapse. We present the results of patients treated with a volar rerouting of the 1,2 ICSRA graft under the tendons of the first extensor compartment to treat more distal scaphoid nonunions than the proximal pole. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients operated with this technique with the hypothesis that it would allow to treat more distal nonunions than those of the proximal pole. This retrospective study involved patients treated by a volar rerouting of the 1,2 ICSRA graft for nonunions of the middle and distal thirds of the scaphoid. Assessments included clinical outcomes and radiological bone consolidation. QuickDASH and Mayo Wrist scores were computed. Range of motion and grip strength were evaluated for both the operated and the contralateral sides. Nineteen patients were followed-up for 33 months (range: 6-75). Mean postoperative QuickDASH score was 10 (range: 0-45), and mean Mayo wrist score was 85 (range: 50-100). Flexion and extension, ulnar and radial deviations were statistically different between the affected and healthy sides (p<0,05). Consolidation was achieved in 17 patients (89%). This technical modification allowed good functional outcomes and scaphoid consolidation. It expands the classic indications of the vascularized 1,2 ICSRA bone graft to more distal nonunions than the proximal pole. IV.

BACKGROUND
The bone graft vascularized by the 1,2 intercompartmental supraretinacular artery (1,2 ICSRA) placed on the scaphoid by a dorsal approach is a technique used to treat scaphoid nonunions with avascular necrosis of the proximal pole and without significant bone loss or carpus collapse. We present the results of patients treated with a volar rerouting of the 1,2 ICSRA graft under the tendons of the first extensor compartment to treat more distal scaphoid nonunions than the proximal pole. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients operated with this technique with the hypothesis that it would allow to treat more distal nonunions than those of the proximal pole.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
This retrospective study involved patients treated by a volar rerouting of the 1,2 ICSRA graft for nonunions of the middle and distal thirds of the scaphoid. Assessments included clinical outcomes and radiological bone consolidation. QuickDASH and Mayo Wrist scores were computed. Range of motion and grip strength were evaluated for both the operated and the contralateral sides.
RESULTS
Nineteen patients were followed-up for 33 months (range: 6-75). Mean postoperative QuickDASH score was 10 (range: 0-45), and mean Mayo wrist score was 85 (range: 50-100). Flexion and extension, ulnar and radial deviations were statistically different between the affected and healthy sides (p<0,05). Consolidation was achieved in 17 patients (89%).
DISCUSSION
This technical modification allowed good functional outcomes and scaphoid consolidation. It expands the classic indications of the vascularized 1,2 ICSRA bone graft to more distal nonunions than the proximal pole.
