Proximal pole scaphoid nonunion reconstruction using autologous proximal hamate osteochondral graft demonstrated encouraging clinical and radiographic outcomes. Proximal hamate harvest involves minimal donor site morbidity without a distant operative site, uses an osteochondral graft with similar morphology to the proximal scaphoid, requires no microsurgical technique, and permits reconstruction of the SLIL using the volar capitohamate ligament.
