Both screws significantly improved the alignment of the scaphoid and decreased carpal collapse (p < 0.01). Importantly, the use of either cannulated screw improved the height-to-length ratio and ...

a wire is put down the scaphoid and then the wire is replaced by a headless screw. Once the position of the screw is confirmed to be accurate under image intensification, the patient can undergo ...

Accurate percutaneous screw placement for scaphoid fractures remains technically challenging. Research now shows that using computer-assisted navigation may help surgeons with screw positioning ...

The SLIC Screw is designed to maintain the anatomical reduction (spacing) of the scaphoid and lunate while allowing some rotation between the carpals. A radiolucent targeting guide is provided ...

At the same time, Bradley Smith mentioned that a screw was to be inserted in his scaphoid bone (one of the wrist bones, see pics below), to mend the injuries and help him get in better shape sooner.
