A Qualitative Evaluation of Scaphoid Remodeling in Bone-Grafted Scaphoid Nonunions [PDF]
The purpose of this case series is to identify and illustrate the phenomenon of scaphoid remodeling in skeletally mature subjects following bone grafting for scaphoid nonunion. Nine patients with scaphoid nonunions were treated with interpositional bone grafting (with iliac crest bone graft) and K-wire fixation. The mean length of follow-up was 28.6±9

This book demonstrates how the primate hand combines both primitive and novel morphology, both general function with specialization, and both a remarkable degree of diversity within some clades and yet general similarity across many others.

Development of human limbs. [PDF]
This work offers a new view on the developmental history of tetrapods. It proposes an original evolution model of human limbs based on metameric formation of osteogenic buds in accordance to primary segmentation and biplanar symmetry. While going through

Locking plate osteosynthesis of scaphoid nonunion with severe bone defects: a case series
The treatment of scaphoid nonunion can be challenging with increasing defect size. We evaluated the outcome of scaphoid nonunion with a substantial bone defect treated with a multidirectional locking plate combined with cancellous bone grafting only ...

Radiographic signs of scaphoid union after bone grafting: The analysis of inter-observer agreement and intra-observer reproducibility [PDF]
INTRODUCTION The diagnosis of radiological union of scaphoid bone after bone grafting requires clear evidence of bony trabeculae traversing the graft from the proximal to the distal pole on at least two of four standard scaphoid views.
