humpback deformity
Polski: deformacja garbowa Czytaj po polsku →
Humpback deformity is the morphological correlate of an unstable scaphoid fracture or non-union. It is associated with dorsal intercalated segmental instability (DISI) of the lunate. Correction requires structural bone graft to restore scaphoid length and curvature, typically using anterior wedge (Russe or Fisk-Fernandez) grafts.
