Abstract
Whether the fracture line passes distal or proximal to the dorsal apex of the scaphoid ridge is a crucial factor in the generation of bone defect. A large wedge-shaped bone graft from the volar side is necessary for distal nonunion whereas a small cancellous bone graft from the dorsal side may be preferable for proximal nonunion.
