Dr Stewart has extensive experience in managing even the most complex trauma, including replantation.
Scaphoid non-union is a regular complication of scaphoid healing, affecting about 5% of scaphoid fractures. The closer to the wrist the fracture, the higher the chance of it not healing.
Having expert treatment of your scaphoid non-union is critical. Dr Stewart specializes in the management of complex scaphoid pathology and can offer arthroscopic bone grafting, free medial femoral condyle bone grafting and costochondral rib grafting depending on your situation, to get you the best result.
Dr Stewart has sub specialty experience in managing complex non unions and will typically be referred the most complex of these through his role as a wrist surgeon in public hospitals. Even if you have had previous multiple failed surgeries with other surgeons, this does not preclude you from having successful surgery with Dr Stewart.
Why people choose to have scaphoid non-union surgery?
If you’ve sustained a scaphoid fracture, have a non-union and wish to discuss your treatment options, please make an appointment to see Dr Stewart and his team today.
As each injury is unique, Dr Stewart will create a personalised post-operative care plan for you to ensure you get the best result from your surgery. Please note that hand therapy is an integral part of the recovery process, so please follow your set guidelines carefully. Scar tissue within the hand will cause problems with stiffness and reduced mobility, which will take 6 months to resolve with ongoing therapy.
Please remember to be patient and follow your care instructions closely to ensure a successful recovery.
