Concentrated autologous bone marrow injection in the surgical treatment of scaphoid non-union

New surgical techniques for the treatment of scaphoid non-union, developed in the last two decades, now enable a healing rate of 80-90%. However, no consensus exists for the surgical treatment of non-union. On the other hand, regenerative medicine techniques have enriched the therapeutic armamentarium for non-union, especially in the lower limbs, with the use of autologous concentrated bone marrow injection using autologous osteogenic precursors to create a favorable microenvironment for bone healing. This technique has the advantages of being inexpensive, easily accessible and applicable in scaphoid non-union as a biological adjuvant to surgery, to improve both healing times and rates. We report 6-month clinical results for the first patient receiving autologous concentrated bone marrow injection associated to scaphoid screw fixation in our center. (c) 2025 SFCM.
