| Abstract | ||||
| Introduction: The word scaphoid is derived from the Greek word (skaphos) for boat. Because of its unique anatomy it can articulate with all five surrounding bones (distal radius, os capitatum, os lunatum, os trapezium and os trapezoideum)(1) . Aim of The work: The aim of this work is to assess the best appropriate distal screw entry zone in volar percutaneous headless compression screw fixation of acute scaphoid fracture to achieve the best screw (lay out or positioning) and proximal tragectory from co-axial and biomechanical point of view in addition to assessment of healing and functional outcome. Patients and Methods: After obtaining human ethical committee approval with registration number of 30 patients with acute scaphoid fractures (Herbert type B1 & B2) were recruited for a randomized comparative prospective study. | ||||
