About

Aim:

The aim of this study is to analyze the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients with a proximal pole fracture of the scaphoid

There are no factors associated with nonunion of a proximal pole fracture of the scaphoid.

Secondary null hypothesis:

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
