PURPOSE: To determine whether there is any motion loss associated with the 1,2 intracompartmental supraretinacular artery (ICSRA) bone graft to the dorsal scaphoid. The null hypothesis is that placement of a vascularized bone graft in the dorsal scaphoid does not lead to a significant change in range of motion. METHODS: Seven fresh-frozen cadaveric upper extremities were examined. Simulated 1,2 ICSRA bone grafts were harvested and placed into a dorsal trough made in the proximal scaphoid. Wrist motion measurements were performed before and after 1,2 ICSRA bone graft implantation. RESULTS: There were no significant changes in wrist motion following 1,2 ICSRA bone graft implantation. CONCLUSIONS: Properly placed 1,2 ICSRA vascularized bone grafts for treatment of proximal scaphoid nonunions do not by themselves cause loss of wrist motion. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Loss of motion following the treatment of proximal scaphoid nonunions with properly placed 1,2 ICSRA vascularized bone grafts are due to factors other than the bone graft itself.
