Reports of bilateral Preiser’s disease-avascular necrosis of the scaphoid -- are rare with only 4 cases reported in the English literature. We present the fifth reported case of bilateral Preiser’s disease in the setting of a previously undiagnosed hypercoagulability disorder.

Idiopathic avascular necrosis of the scaphoid is a rare condition. A review of the literature shows a variety of conditions labelled as spontaneous avascular necrosis or Preiser’s disease. In this paper we report on a study of eight patients with idiopathic avascular necrosis affecting only the proximal pole of the scaphoid. Seven of these patients had positive ulnar variance. The possible aetiology is discussed and the natural history has been studied. A staging system is proposed, as this helps to determine the prognosis and appropriate management. Two of our patients were managed conservatively; the others were treated successfully by partial silastic replacement of the scaphoid

Special attention is needed to assess constant wrist pain to avoid missed carpal bone fractures after traumatic events. Also, the consideration of avascular necrosis of carpal bones such asscaphoid bone after a traumatic or stress fracture is crucial. We hereby report a young elite wrestler who has been complaining about pain in both wrists for about two years before hisvisit to our clinic. The interesting point about this athlete is bilateral involvement and that the second pathology was probably overuse without any trauma.

Elderly patients suffering from avascular necrosis of a carpal bone in both wrists are extremely rare. We report a case of an elderly kendo (Japanese fencing) competitor who sustained Preiser's disease in the left hand following the occurrence of Kienböck's disease in the right hand. The current case demonstrates the importance of raising awareness of these diseases as potential sports-related problems in the elderly.

In 1910, Georg Preiser (1876–1913) described five cases of rarifying osteitis. Based on his imaging studies, he diagnosed post-traumatic avascular necrosis (AVN) of the scaphoid without any sign of primary fracture. This was followed by an article in 1911 in which Preiser related his findings to Kienböck’s disease and Köhler’s disease of the tarsal navicular. Upon searching the literature, we found descriptions and discussions of Preiser’s imaging; however, the original images have never been published. We reproduce Preiser’s original imaging in this current review. All of these appear to show a fracture and no signs of AVN, suggesting that Georg Preiser misinterpreted his findings. There is no apparent uniformity in the literature regarding the definition, description, or aetiology of Preiser’s disease, and it is for this reason that we find the use of eponyms to be confusing.

AbstractA 6-month-old neutered male dog presented for investigation of right thoracic limb lameness of 6-week duration following an acute injury. Radiography and computed tomography revealed focal osteolysis of the intermedioradial carpal bone. Histopathology of the bone revealed osteonecrosis, bone resorption, fibrous proliferation and new bone formation suggestive of avascular necrosis. Pancarpal arthrodesis was performed to stabilize the carpus and resulted in resolution of lameness and return to normal exercise. Avascular necrosis of carpal bones is rare and unreported in skeletally immature dogs. The imaging and histopathological changes in this dog's intermedioradial carpal bone bear strong similarity to Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease and the two presentations may have a similar traumatic vascular pathology.
