J Hand Surg Asian Pac Vol. 2023 Oct;28(5):587-589. doi: 10.1142/S2424835523710091. Epub 2023 Oct 27.

Abstract

Dual construct fixation has been increasingly used in complex peri-articular or peri-prosthetic long bone fractures, those with poor bone quality and in revision situations. We describe the utilisation of a screw-plate construct in the setting of a juxta-articular distal pole scaphoid fracture, review the literature and provide recommendations for future use. Level of Evidence: Level V (Therapeutic).
