Arthroscopic scaphoid excision and LC fusion for patients with advanced SLAC or SNAC of the wrist was effective and safe only in cases fixed with 2 headless compression screws. We recommend arthroscopic LC fusion using 2 screws rather than 1 to decrease radiolucent loosening, which might affect complications such as nonunion, delayed union, or screw migration.
