[Results of follow-up of Matti-Russe surgical treatment of scaphoid pseudarthroses].

: Sixty patients after Matti-Russe procedures for scaphoid non-union were investigated. In 85%, autologous corticocancellous bone grafting was successful. Wrist function was good in 65% of the cases. 68% of the patients were satisfied with the result of the operation. Patients younger than 30 years at the time of the operation and with the diagnosis of scaphoid non-union not older than two years showed the best results. In cases with long-time follow-up investigation after Matti-Russe procedure (more than nine years), wrist function as well as the patient's self-estimation become significantly poorer.
