Recently, I have encountered many patients who come to see me with bone discontinuity after navicular fracture and ask me if they want surgery. In order to clarify this issue, I will talk about it here in words you can easily understand. First of all, navicular fracture is a kind of hand trauma. Generally we believe that a navicular fracture takes a long time to heal, sometimes 3 months or 6 months, but if it has not healed for more than 1 year, it will not heal on its own, so stop asking what conservative treatment is available without surgery. Some patients will have wrist pain and limited wrist movement, and undoubtedly these patients need surgery. But some patients say, “I’m not in pain and I’m moving well, so do I need surgery? The answer is also yes. The reason is that after the navicular fracture, the force on the different bones in the wrist will change and will no longer be normal, and then osteoarthritis will develop later, and it will be too late to operate. Of course, not all bone discontinuities will heal after surgery, but we have a large number of clinical cases in this area every year, and the overall results are good. So if you are still considering surgery, the answer is of course “yes”. If you still have questions, you can continue to ask me. Finally, I would like to remind you that no matter what kind of surgery you have, the first time is always important and it is also important to choose a doctor you can trust.
