A member asked:

I have non union scalphoid bone with psuedo joint formarion , and i want to cure that disesases without surgery ? can it is possible

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Scaphoid Non-Union: A scaphoid fracture frequently goes on to non-union (or non-healing) because of the bone's poor blood supply. The scaphoid is an important bone of your wrist and if left un-healed it can lead to arthritis in your wrist. It is unlikely to heal without surgery.
