TREATMENT OF UNUNITED FRACTURES OF THE CARPAL NAVICULAR

J. M. EDELSTEIN M.CH. (ORTH), F.R.C.S.E.

1. Fractures of the carpal navicular are commonly met with. If they are overlooked or are inadequately treated, as is frequently the case, non-union occurs.

2. Cases of established non-union can be dealt with adequately by drilling multiple holes across the line of fracture by open operation; good bony union is promoted by such an operation, provided subsequent immobilization is prolonged.
