Necessity of grafting in scaphoid nonunion fixation: A comparative outcome analysis

Figure 2 Radiographic evaluation of waist nonunion managed via the mini-dorsal approach. A: Intraoperative clinical image demonstrating the inverted L-shaped capsulotomy used in the mini-dorsal approach. The transverse limb (white dashed line) is located at the radio-scaphoid interval, while the longitudinal limb (blue dashed line) lies ulnar to the scapholunate ligament interval; B: Preoperative anteroposterior radiograph showing a waist nonunion; C and D: Postoperative anteroposterior (C) and scaphoid-view (D) radiographs at seven months, showing complete healing.
