Rationale for change
The original wording is confusing. The problem isn't retrograde blood supply, its damage to retrograde blood supply.

- The proximal portion of the scaphoid relies on retrograde flow from the radial artery; nonunion (failure of bone to heal) can then occur due to lack of blood supply
- Avascular necrosis of the scaphoid increases the risk of osteoarthritis of the radiocarpal joint
