Inclusion criteria were surgical fixation within 6 months from date of injury and postoperative CT with minimum clinical follow-up of 6 months to evaluate healing. Forty-eight patients were included in this study. Nonunion cases were matched by age, sex, and fracture location to patients who progressed to fracture union in the 1:2 ratio.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003This series of 48 patients matched 16 nonunion cases with 32 cases that progressed to union. Fracture location was proximal pole in 15% (7\/48) and waist in 85% (41\/48). Multivariate regression demonstrated that shorter length of time from injury to initial ORIF and smaller percent of proximal fracture fragment volume were significantly associated with scaphoid nonunion after ORIF (63 vs. 27 days and 34 vs. 40%, respectively). Receiver operating curve analysis revealed that fracture volume below 38% and time from injury to surgery greater than 31 days were associated with nonunion.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Increased likelihood for nonunion was found when the fracture was treated greater than 31 days from injury and when fracture volume was less than 38% of the entire scaphoid.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Level of Evidence\u2003This is a Level III, therapeutic study.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0039-3402769","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,20]],"date-time":"2020-01-20T23:58:09Z","timestamp":1579564689000},"page":"141-149","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Factors Associated with Scaphoid Nonunion following Early Open Reduction and Internal Fixation"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"09","author":[{"given":"Pooja","family":"Prabhakar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lauren","family":"Wessel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joseph","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey","family":"Stepan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michelle","family":"Carlson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Duretti","family":"Fufa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,20]]},"container-title":["Journal of Wrist Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0039-3402769.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,2]],"date-time":"2020-04-02T13:30:00Z","timestamp":1585834200000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0039-3402769"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,20]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"02","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,4]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0039-3402769","relation":{},"ISSN":["2163-3916","2163-3924"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2163-3916","type":"print"},{"value":"2163-3924","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,20]]}}}
