Overview

Case report reveals significant pain relief in a patient with stage IIIb Kienböck’s disease, suggesting surgical potential.

Key Points

  • Pain improved significantly, with the Visual Analog Scale score decreasing from 8 to 2 after surgery.
  • Lunate excision and interposition arthroplasty can preserve wrist motion in advanced Kienböck's disease cases.
  • Surgical intervention involved using an autologous palmaris longus tendon from the same wrist.
  • Short-term follow-up indicates better outcomes, though long-term studies are needed for confirmation.
