Kienböck disease, current issues
Keywords:
Kienbock disease, lunate, wrist
Abstract
Kienböck’s disease (KD) is a progressive condition leading to lunate collapse and carpal functionality disorder, with still uncertain etiology. The disease seems initially to affect the vascularity, lately the bone density and finally the cartilage of lunate. Advanced imaging and wrist arthroscopy offer useful tools for its approach. Classification, staging, therapeutic treatment and prognosis mostly depend on their findings. The cure algorithms that are usually followed include load redistribution, revascularization and lunate or wrist reconstruction as salvage surgery. Despite the great variation of operative options the majority of them provide satisfactory results.
