Abstract

Kienbock’s disease, or avascular necrosis of the lunate, is a progressive disease ultimately resulting in end-stage arthrosis. Various surgical treatments are available for different Lichtman stages of disease. This article reviews surgical treatments of Kienbock’s disease from a radiologic perspective. The reader will learn preoperative indications and imaging, normal and abnormal post-surgical appearance and potential complications of operative treatments of Kienbock’s disease.
