  • Title: Bilateral idiopathic avascular necrosis of the scaphoid: a rare case of Preiser's disease.
    Author: Imam S, Aldridge C, Lyall H.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Br; 2009 Oct; 91(10):1400-2. PubMed ID: 19794180.
    Abstract:
    Whereas avascular necrosis of the scaphoid after a fracture is well-documented, idiopathic avascular necrosis of the scaphoid (Preiser's disease) is rare. Little is known of the aetiology of the condition and even less about the best course of management. We describe a rare case of bilateral Preiser's disease. Possible aetiological factors and a summary of the current concepts of management are discussed.
