Abstract
Kienbock's disease is a progressive condition characterized by lunate collapse, carpal instability, and eventually perilunate arthritis. Etiology is likely multifactorial, including vascular and anatomic or osseus causes. In cases of advanced disease, disabling pain, limited motion, and decreased grip strength may be present. The preferred treatment options for the nonreconstructable wrist are proximal row carpectomy (PRC), total wrist arthrodesis, and total wrist arthroplasty (TWA). In the following chapter, we will discuss various surgical options for patients with advanced Kienbock's disease.
