  • Title: Long-term review of fascial replacement after excision of the carpal lunate bone.
    Author: Carroll RE.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1997 Sep; (342):59-63. PubMed ID: 9308525.
    Abstract:
    Excision of the carpal lunate bone in Kienbock's avascular necrosis gives relief of pain. To maintain grip strength, increase range of motion, and prevent carpal collapse or shifting, this space has been filled with various materials. Forty-three patients received fascial interposition replacement, and the experience and results of 10 patients observed for 10 years or more (range, 10-34) are presented. Pain was relieved. Range of motion was increased. Carpal collapse did not occur. All patients use their hand in an unrestricted, stressful activity. The result of an operation during an extended period is documented.
