Fig. 4

This 21-year-old male solider had right scaphoid nonunion, stage III, with radioscaphoid arthritis after the initial operation at another hospital 8 months ago (A). In addition to arthroscopic debridement and bone grafting (B, C), arthroscopic radial styloidectomy was performed to reduce radioscaphoid impingement. Multiple non-parallel K-wire fixation was performed to avoid over-compression (D). Bony union was achieved 8 months later (E)
