Herbert screw: results of a single-centre trial

Herbert Screw Fixation of Scaphoid Fractures

“…Our results confirm that internal fixation leads to better functional results than standard techniques of bone grafting (Warren- Smith and Barton 1988), presumably because of the accuracy of scaphoid reconstruction combined with the benefits of early postoperative movement. Even more significant is the fact that improved function appears to be maintained even in cases of persistent nonunion (Dent et al 1992). We therefore believe that internal fixation is justified, even when there is completely ischaemic nonunion (D3).…”

“…The Herbert screw has become widely accepted as a mode of treatment (Bunker, McNamee and Scott 1987;Ford et al 1987;DeMaagd and Engber 1989;Smith, Helm and Tonkin 1991;Dent, Mitchell and Sharma 1992;dos Reis et al 1993;Martini and Schiltenwolf 1993). Herbert and Fisher first described the technique in 1984, and proposed a classification of scaphoid fractures and a grading system for reporting results.…”
