  • Title: Treatment of progressive necrosis of the lunate bone (Kienböck disease) after unsuccessful radial osteotomy.
    Author: Kakinoki R, Yamakawa T, Nakayama K, Morimoto Y, Nakamura T.
    Journal: Scand J Plast Reconstr Surg Hand Surg; 2007; 41(5):267-71. PubMed ID: 17886131.
    Abstract:
    We report the treatment of three patients with stage 3 Kienböck disease that had advanced after radial shortening (n = 2) or lateral wedge osteotomy (n = 1). We shortened the capitate and fused the capitate and hamate, and applied a vascularised bone graft taken from the distal dorsal radius to the lunate. This was successful in all three patients.
