Orthopaedic question
Hi, I had an operation on my wrist start of December 2017 and got an x Ray today to see how it is healing. The operation was an open reduction with internal fixation of the scaphoid, a bone graft was harvested from my iliac crest. The surgeon today was a bit rushed and didn’t really tell me if it was healing as expected and told me he’d like to see me again in 6 months. I have a picture of my x Ray if someone can have a look and see what they think.

6 months is a long time to see the surgeon again.
Bone grafting indicates you had a delayed surgery or delayed presentation.
Chances of non union or avascular necrosis are still high.
Share x-rays.
