Abstract
Over the past decade, a plethora of new information has been reported regarding etiology, natural history, classification, and treatment options for lunate osteonecrosis. New disease classifications have been described based on advanced imaging determination of lunate viability as well as a cartilage-based arthroscopic classification. Here we review the newest literature regarding Kienböck disease and present a new treatment algorithm that incorporates the traditional osseous classification system with a perfusion/viability classification and an articular cartilage-based classification.
