Following diagnosis, conservative treatment was initiated, but despite 4\u2005months in a plaster cast, the fracture had failed to unite. Open reduction and internal fixation was performed (Acutrak screw) with bone graft harvested from the distal radius. Postoperative immobilisation continued for 10\u2005weeks, and at 4\u2005months the child was pain free and had resumed normal activities. The fracture had fully united radiologically at 9\u2005months. Non-union is reported to occur in 23% of paediatric scaphoid fractures when treatment is delayed, and conservative and surgical treatment have both been described. Since OI increases the risk of non-union in long bone fractures, the scaphoid may also be at risk. We recommend a high level of suspicion for non-union in this patient group and a low threshold for consideration of surgical treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2015-212419","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,12]],"date-time":"2016-01-12T01:24:15Z","timestamp":1452561855000},"page":"bcr2015212419","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Scaphoid non-union in osteogenesis imperfecta"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"2016","author":[{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Pinder","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ipswich Hospital, Ipswich, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonathan","family":"Fok","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ipswich Hospital, Ipswich, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Crossman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ipswich Hospital, Ipswich, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025082623270535000_2016.jan11_1.bcr2015212419.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jmg.16.2.101"},{"key":"2025082623270535000_2016.jan11_1.bcr2015212419.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1054\/cuor.2002.0299"},{"key":"2025082623270535000_2016.jan11_1.bcr2015212419.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"439","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-198870030-00018","article-title":"Non-union of fractures in children who have osteogenesis imperfecta","volume":"70","author":"Gamble","year":"1988","journal-title":"J Bone Joint Surg Am"},{"key":"2025082623270535000_2016.jan11_1.bcr2015212419.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1779","DOI":"10.1359\/JBMR.040814","article-title":"Delayed osteotomy but not fracture healing in pediatric osteogenesis imperfecta patients receiving pamidronate","volume":"19","author":"Munns","year":"2005","journal-title":"J Bone Miner Res Off J Am Soc Bone Miner Res"},{"key":"2025082623270535000_2016.jan11_1.bcr2015212419.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01202412-200511000-00013"},{"key":"2025082623270535000_2016.jan11_1.bcr2015212419.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.N.00584"},{"key":"2025082623270535000_2016.jan11_1.bcr2015212419.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.J.01729"},{"key":"2025082623270535000_2016.jan11_1.bcr2015212419.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BPO.0b013e3181a5a667"},{"key":"2025082623270535000_2016.jan11_1.bcr2015212419.9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004694-199903000-00020"},{"key":"2025082623270535000_2016.jan11_1.bcr2015212419.10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1213","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.91B9.21906","article-title":"Conservative treatment of scaphoid nonunion in children and adolescents","volume":"91","author":"Weber","year":"2009","journal-title":"J Bone Joint Surg Br"}],"container-title":["BMJ Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/syndication.highwire.org\/content\/doi\/10.1136\/bcr-2015-212419","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,27]],"date-time":"2025-08-27T06:27:12Z","timestamp":1756276032000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/casereports.bmj.com\/lookup\/doi\/10.1136\/bcr-2015-212419"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,11]]},"references-count":10,"alternative-id":["10.1136\/bcr-2015-212419"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/bcr-2015-212419","relation":{},"ISSN":["1757-790X"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"1757-790X"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,11]]}}}
