Symptomatic carpal scaphoid nonunion was treated by the volar bone graft technique described by Russe in 31 patients reviewed. The technique was successful in attaining union in 27 wrists; nonunion persisted in 4 wrists. The presence of n unstable nonunion did not seem to affect the end result if the small necrotic proximal pole fracture is excluded. Obviously this last fracture should be treated by other methods.
