  • Title: [Osteochondral reconstruction of the lunate fossa in proximal row carpectomy for Kienböck's disease early stage IV].
    Author: Langer MF, Wieskötter B, Vordemvenne T, Surke C.
    Journal: Handchir Mikrochir Plast Chir; 2010 Jun; 42(3):212-5. PubMed ID: 20535656.
    Abstract:
    An osteochondral transfer of a scaphoid segment into the lunate fossa in proximal row carpectomy was performed in two female patients in stage IV of Kienböck's disease. Clinical and radiological follow-up at 18 and 6 months, respectively, showed results comparable to those of PRC in Lichtman stage III. This technique may serve as another option for salvage operations on the wrist.
