Abstract
Scaphoid fractures are common injuries with high risk of nonunion. Various fixation techniques exist for managing scaphoid nonunions, including Kirschner wires, single or dual headless compression screws, combination fixation techniques, volar plating, and compressive staple fixation. The indication for each fixation technique varies depending on the patient, type of nonunion, and clinical scenario.
