This has been attributed to avascularity of the proximal pole of the scaphoid. While proximal pole non-unions can be successfully treated using open techniques, there is little information in the literature regarding arthroscopic bone graft and internal fixation of proximal pole non-unions.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Description of Technique\u2003After insertion of a 1.2-mm radiolunate K-wire, the scaphoid non-union was arthroscopically excised, bone grafted with iliac crest cancellous bone, and internally fixed with 3\u2009\u00d7\u20091.2\u2009mm K-wires.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Patients and Methods\u2003This is a retrospective study of patients who had arthroscopic bone graft of non-union of the proximal pole of the scaphoid between 2009 and 2021.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003There were 30 cases in this study; 29 cases united.
