Abstract
The purpose of this retrospective study was to introduce the use of an alternative vascularized bone graft for treating scaphoid non-union. The vascularized bone graft was harvested from the dorsal base of the third metacarpal bone. From May 2014 to September 2017, 29 patients with scaphoid non-union were treated. Grip and pinch strengths were compared to the contralateral side. The patients rated wrist joint pain on a visual analogue scale. Wrist function was assessed on Mayo Wrist Score. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. 18 scaphoids healed at 6 weeks and the other 11 at 16 weeks. Follow-up ranged from 28 to 73 months, for a mean 48 months. At final follow-up, mean wrist flexion had improved from 65° (range, 51°-81°) preoperatively to 72° (range, 61-78°) (p > 0.05), for a contralateral value of 74° (range, 65°-86°). Mean extension had improved from 56° (range, 44°-72°) to 60° (range, 47°-76°) (p > 0.05) for a contralateral value of 66° (range, 52°-80°). Mean wrist pain improved from 4 (range, 3-8) to 2 (range, 0-4) (p < 0.05). Mean pinch strength improved from 6.4 kg (range, 5.2-7.3 kg) to 8.6 kg (6.1-9.9 kg) (p < 0.05). Mayo Wrist Score improved from 49 (range, 10-65) to 92 (range, 70-100) (p < 0.05). Transferring a vascularized bone graft harvested from the base of the third metacarpal bone was an effective alternative for the treatment of scaphoid non-union, achieving bone healing and normal wrist function without significant donor-site morbidity. TYPE OF STUDY/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic IV.

Abstract
The treatment of aseptic osteonecrosis (ON) of the femoral head has been the subject of numerous therapeutic and surgical proposals due to the absence of medical treatment with proven efficacy. For many years, the goal of surgical treatment was to avoid total hip replacement (THR) with uncertain survival in patients considered too young (30-50 years) for this procedure. Numerous conservative treatments were thus proposed: core decompression with numerous variants, non-vascularized and vascularized bone grafts, intertrochanteric and rotational transtrochanteric osteotomies, cementing. The lack of a common classification and a lack of knowledge of natural history complicated the interpretation of the results for a long time. Nevertheless, it appeared that these treatments were effective only in the very early stages and among these in the limited ONs, medial rather than central and especially lateral, with discrepancies according to etiologies apart from sickle cell disease recognized by all as being pejorative. For the same reason, partial arthroplasties have been attempted and abandoned in turn: femoral head total and partial resurfacing and femoral prosthesis. The most recent advances are stem-cell-enhanced core decompression and progress in total arthroplasty, whose reliability has made it possible to extend the indications to increasingly younger patients seeking treatment with guaranteed or near-guaranteed efficacy. Most of the other interventions have disappeared or almost disappeared because of their lack of effectiveness especially in extensive and post-fracture ONs, sometimes because of their complexity and the length of their post-operative management, and also because they complicate and penalize a future total arthroplasty. This argues for early detection of ON at an early stage where the "head can be saved" by stem cell augmented core decompression, a minimally invasive treatment that leaves the chances of success of a THR intact.

Abstract
Vascularized bone grafts have shown favorable outcomes in Kienböck's disease, preventing the progression of lunate collapse and avascular necrosis. Here we describe our experience using a 4+5 extensor compartmental artery (ECA) vascularized bone graft combined with K-wire fixation. Between September 2010 and June 2013, 9 patients with Lichtman stage II-IIIA disease underwent arthroscopy prior to 4+5 ECA graft placement combined with temporary fixation (scaphocapitate and triquetrum-capitate joints). The average follow-up was 69 months (range, 51-92 months). Changes in pain, range of motion, grip strength, and pinch strength were analyzed. All patients had satisfactory recovery, especially pain relief and grip strength improvement (both P<0.01). Furthermore, magnetic resonance imaging follow-up was critical for monitoring lunate revascularization, especially in the early postoperative period.
