Abstract
With volar-type scaphoid nonunion, distal fragment resection seems to represent a reasonable treatment option. With dorsal-type nonunion, however, pressure concentration around the capitate head was aggravated with the simulated distal fragment resection, indicating a potential risk of worsening any preexisting lunocapitate arthritis.
