AbstractScaphoid nonunion has traditionally been treated by open surgery where the pseudarthrosis has been cleaned while either a structural wedged bone graft, or chips of cancellous bone has been used to fill the defect. K-wires or a screw has been used to stabilize the bone. Using the arthroscopic technique for treatment of nonunion of the scaphoid gives us small exposure to the joint, however with an excellent view of the bones, the articular surfaces and the intraarticular ligaments. The results from arthroscopic treatment for scaphoid nonunion with bone grafting using chips of cancellous bone are as good as from the open technique. The arthroscopic treatment, though, helps us to diagnose and treat concomitant lesions. There is less damage of blood supply, nerves and capsule, which might lead to a faster recovery and rehabilitation. The technique will be described and discussed.

Skeletally Immature Patient

The incidence of ACL tears is rising in the pediatric and adolescent populations as these individuals succumb to traumatic and nontraumatic athletic injuries. Management of this condition in the skeletally immature patient poses a challenge and is controversial. Operative reconstruction carries the concern for damage to the physis with resultant limb length inequality and angular joint deformity but provides stability to the knee and allows return of function in most patients. On the other hand, nonoperative treatment has been shown to carry an increased risk of meniscal and articular cartilage damage and is difficult from a compliance standpoint in this demographic. For the majority of skeletally immature patients, operative treatment is recommended as it has shown good clinical and functional results with minimal risk of growth disturbance. This paper aims to address the natural course of ACL injuries in the skeletally immature patient, treatment options with associated complications, and current preventative strategies.
