TL;DR: A retrospective radiographic analysis of 64 patients with symptomatic scaphoid nonunions without previous surgical treatment showed a high frequency of degenerative changes occurring in a predictable sequence and Instability was progressive and associated with an earlier onset of arthritis.

Reactive synovitis after silicone arthroplasty.
TL;DR: Patients who have had silicone arthroplasties should be followed indefinitely, at regular intervals, by x-ray films and clinical examination.

An approach to Kienböck's disease: triscaphe arthrodesis.
TL;DR: It is believed that triscaphe arthrodesis with a silicone rubber lunate provides a means for load transference and heavy stress use capability of the hand.

Kienböck's disease--update on silicone replacement arthroplasty
TL;DR: In a previous paper, early lunate silicone replacement arthroplasty for Kienbock's disease was advocated because of poor results obtained in stage III disease, and an additional 16 patients have been operated on, and 12 underwent successful SRA.

Arthrodesis of the carpal bones in the treatment of Kienböck's disease, painful ununited fractures of the navicular and lunate bones with avascular necrosis, and old fracture-dislocations of carpal bones.
TL;DR: A technique of partial intercarpal fusion used in the treatment of Kienbock's disease and paintul non-union of fractures of the carpal navicular bone with avascular necrosis is described, with advantages that the wrist need be immobilized for only two months and the patient can resume normal activity three to four months after operation.

TL;DR: A surgical technique is described for unilateral arthrodesis of the wrist through a radial wrist approach with an inner iliac-bone graft that was successful in twenty-three patients treated over a ten to twelve-year period.

Fractures of the carpal navicular (scaphoid); a report of 436 cases.
TL;DR: The results in these cases substantiate good orthopaedic teaching that, if a fracture of the carpal navicular is accurately reduced and adequately immobilized for a sufficient time, solid bony union may be expected.

TL;DR: Styloidectomy combined with a bone graft of the Murray type was the most effective means of securing union of the fracture and relieving wrist pain in the surgically treated cases in this series.

The broken scaphoid bone
TL;DR: The bad reputation of fractures of the scaphoid bone is based on past disasters caused by inadequate splintage and premature resort to operation; and selection of disabling cases for publication as mentioned in this paper.
