Patient outcome scores between 1,2- and 2,3-intercompartmental supra-retinacular artery (ICSRA) pedicled vascularised bone grafts (PVBGs) in the treatment of proximal pole scaphoid fracture non-union - a questionnaire study

© 2023. Crown..

BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have been published on the use of 1,2-intercompartmental supra-retinacular artery (ICSRA) as a pedicled vascularised bone graft (PVBG) in scaphoid fracture non-union, however, only very few studies have reported their results of 2,3-ICSRA. The aim of this study was to compare the patient-rated outcome scores between these two PVBGs in proximal pole scaphoid fracture non-union.

METHODS: Nineteen patients who underwent surgery for scaphoid non-union between 2017 and 2021 at a single institution were recruited retrospectively in this study. All patients were operated by a one senior orthopaedic surgeon. A mailed questionnaire with the modified mayo wrist (MMW) and the patient rated wrist evaluation (PRWE) scores were sent to the patients.

RESULTS: All patients were males with a mean age of 22.5 years. There was no statistically significant difference in the PRWE score between the two PVBGs. However, a statistically significant difference was found in the MMW score, with the 1,2-ICSRA PVBG having better scores.

CONCLUSION: Despite the 2,3-ICSRA having a longer arc of rotation, longer nutrient arteries, and is technically easier to incorporate in a PVBG, when compared with the 1,2-ICSRA it did not result in better patient-rated outcome scores.
