Abstract:This study aimed to evaluate the distribution and severity of cartilage damage using magnetic resonance imaging in patients with scaphoid nonunion without advanced wrist arthritis. We retrospectively analysed MRI of patients who underwent osteosynthesis for scaphoid nonunion. Cartilage damage was assessed in eight wrist regions using a modified Whole-Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score. The frequencies of regions affected by any cartilage damage (Score ≥2.5) depicted on MRI were analysed. The study included… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
