Seguimiento medio de 16 meses (rango 12-48). Material y métodoĮstudio retrospectivo de 92 pacientes, tratados en nuestro centro, entre 2006 y 2016, mediante fijación percutánea volar. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar los resultados clinicofuncionales y las complicaciones de las fracturas de escafoides tratadas con fijación percutánea mediante abordaje volar. Las fracturas de escafoides Herbet tipo B1 y B2 se pueden tratar tanto de manera ortopédica con inmovilización como de manera quirúrgica. Volar percutaneous fixation is a simple and quick technique for a specialist surgeon, characterised by low morbidity and complication rates compared to ORIF and orthopaedic treatment, which accelerates the patient's functional recovery.

The most frequent complication was non-union in 4 cases (4.44%). Regarding functional evaluation, the average DASH questionnaire score was 42. After 12 months of follow-up, the average wrist range of motion was 70° of extension (range 58–75) and 70° of flexion (range 62–80). The average time to fracture healing was 6.6 weeks (range 5–11). Consolidation was established as the presence of bony bridges crossing the fracture site on X-rays, associated with absence of pain. Functional results were evaluated using the DASH questionnaire. Polytrauma patients, dorsal approach, fractures associated with distal radius injuries, patients treated using another surgical technique and patients with non follow-up were also excluded. Injuries were classified using Hebert's classification, including B1 and B2 fracture types the other fracture types following this classification system were excluded. Mean Follow-up was 16 months (range 12–48). We present a retrospective study of 92 patients, treated in our institution from 2006 to 2016 using a volar percutaneous fixation. The aim of this study is to analyse results and complications of scaphoid waist fractures treated using the percutaneous volar approach. Herbert type B1 and B2 scaphoid fractures can be treated by orthopaedic treatment or surgery. The Journal is included in the major databases: MEDLINE/PubMed, IME, EMBASE, Bibliomed, SCOPUS, and IBECS. All works are evaluated blind by at least 3 peer reviewers, whose judgements are finally supervised by the Editor of the particular area of knowledge and by the Journal Editor in Chief. The Editorial Committee consists of 10 independent members, specialists of recognised prestige that are not associated with the governing bodies of the Society.

The Updates and Research Works sections are of great interest to specialists, due to the careful selection of the topics.

In each issue it also publishes one or two clinical cases that are of great interest to the readers, since they are usually exceptional cases that are difficult to diagnose or treat. In the contents of the Journal, priority is given to original research articles on the specialty, which is also its main aim the publication of the best original research articles in Spanish. The Revista Española de Cirugía Ortopédica y Traumatología (Journal of Orthopaedics Surgery and Traumatology) is the official publication of the Spanish Society of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology that has a combined total of 5,000 members, and is the leading Spanish journal of the specialty.
