Abstract
Autologous bone grafts are used to treat scaphoid non-union with shortening and humpback deformity. The superiority of internally fixed bone graft to embedded bone graft has not been clearly proven. Retrospectively analyzed 42 cases of scaphoid waist non-union treated using the "butterfly bone graft" (modified Matti-Russe technique). Complete healing was reached by all patients, with an average time of 4.4 (SD ± 0.7) months. Mayo Wrist Score improved from and QuickDASH score significantly improved in all patients after treatment. Butterfly bone graft is effective and reliable in treating scaphoid non-union with shortening and humpback deformity.
