Abstract
Background
Scaphoid is the most commonly injured carpal bone, with over two-thirds of scaphoid fractures occurring at the waist. The anatomy of the scaphoid makes these injuries susceptible to delayed unions or nonunions and can lead to significant morbidity and disability.
Aim
To evaluate the effect of bone marrow injection on bone healing in delayed presented fractures of scaphoid with percutaneous fixation via Herbert screw.
