The incidence of Kienböck's disease is known to be higher in cerebral palsy patients, but little has been written on treatment. We report a case of Kienböck's disease in a young man affected by cerebral palsy. A proximal row carpectomy was done, which relieved spasticity at the same time as treating the disease.

The outcomes in 20 patients with advanced Kienböck's disease treated by proximal row carpectomy (seven patients) or limited wrist arthrodesis (13 patients) were reviewed retrospectivey. Postoperatively, the results were more satisfactory in terms of wrist pain, the range of wrist flexion–extension, and grip strength following limited wrist arthrodesis than after proximal row carpectomy, although the differences were not statistically significant. We recommend scaphotrapeziotrapezoid arthrodesis in selected patients with advanced Kienböck's disease who have a fragmented lunate.

Surgical options for advanced Kienböck’s disease include proximal row carpectomy or lunate reconstruction with a medial femoral trochlea osteochondral flap. This study compares morphology of the proximal capitate and the medial femoral trochlear surfaces to the proximal lunate using three-dimensional geometric morphometric analysis. Virtual articular surfaces were extracted from MRI studies of ten healthy volunteers. Distances between corresponding points on the proximal lunate and proximal capitate or medial femoral trochlear surfaces were measured. In seven subjects, mean inter-surface distance for the medial femoral trochlea–proximal lunate pair was significantly lower than the proximal capitate–proximal lunate pairing. In three subjects, mean proximal capitate–proximal lunate distance was significantly lower. We conclude that the medial femoral trochlear flap was anatomically closer to the shape of the proximal lunate in the majority of the examined subjects. However, we found that in three out of ten cases, the proximal capitate was a better match.
