  • Title: Vascularised bone graft and osteotomy of the radius in Kienböck's disease.
    Author: Zafra M, Carrasco-Becerra C, Carpintero P.
    Journal: Acta Orthop Belg; 2005 Apr; 71(2):163-8. PubMed ID: 16152849.
    Abstract:
    Treatment of stage IIIA and III B avascular necrosis of the lunate bone remains controversial. We present a series of 5 cases in young patients treated with a vascularised bone graft from the second metacarpal, combined with a lateral shortening and closing wedge osteotomy of the radius. Good clinical and radiographic results were obtained and disease progression was halted with the combination of these two surgical procedures.
