Among the different surgical methods to treat non-union of the scaphoid, one may underline the internal fixation accompanied by autologue bone grafts of corticospongious and other vascularized bone graft techniques. The objective of this research study was to show our own experience in pronator quadratus pedicled bone graft. Seventeen cases with carpal scaphoid pseudoarthrosis, but without osteoarthritic changes at radiocarpal joint, were reported; they were all treated with pronator quadratus pedicled bone graft and internal fixator. The non-union consolidation was seen in all the patients. The suggested technique also allowed making the angle deformity corrections of the scaphoid.
