Twenty-one patients diagnosed with carpal scaphoid nonunion received treatment by the Matti-Russe surgical technique. The average postoperative follow-up was 46.5 months, with extremes of 14 and 74 months. The average duration between the initial trauma and the first consultation was 16 months with extremes between 1 year an 3 years. The overall consolidation rate in our series was 100%.
