[Follow-up results of 258 navicular fractures of the hand (author's transl)].

Abstract

258 fresh and old navicular fractures and pseudarthroses are analysed with regard to conservative and operative treatment. Fracture healing occurred in 97.2% of conservatively treated cases. The method described by Matti-Russe using an iliac graft has given good results in old fractures and pseudarthroses, causing 95% fracture healing in old fractures and 76% in pseudarthroses.
