Kienbock’S Disease

A 38-year-old man presented with a 2-month history of pain and stiffness in the bilateral wrist. The pain in right wrist was disabling and severe enough to restrict the daily life activities. After the evaluation of clinical and radiological features, the patient was diagnosed with Kienböck’s disease Lichtman stage IIIB in the right wrist and stage IIIA in the left wrist. Routine laboratory investigations revealed a serum uric acid 9.27 mg/dL. Lunate excision and scaphocapitate fusion were done in the right wrist after discussing with the patient. The histopathological examinations of tophi in synovial tissue were negatively birefringent under polarised light microscopy. It confirmed the diagnoses of gout. Febuxostat was started postoperatively. The patient returned to work at the end of 5 months. There was no recurrence of symptoms and radiological signs of arthritis at the end of 1 year.

Kienbock’S Disease

Abstract Background Kienbock's disease, in spite of an uncertain natural history, is known to cause lunate compromise, leading to central column collapse, carpal instability, and degenerative arthritis of the wrist. Joint leveling procedures are performed in the early stages of Kienbock's disease to “unload” the lunate. Capitate shortening is the preferred procedure in Kienbock's patients with positive ulnar variance. Description of Technique We describe the rationale and a simplified technique of capitate shortening in early Kienbock's disease. This is a single-cut osteotomy with single-screw stabilization. Patients and Methods We have performed this technique in three cases. We present a case of a 26-year-old male who presented with a 1-year history of pain in his right wrist. Radiology performed demonstrated lunate sclerosis. Diagnostic arthroscopy revealed healthy articular surfaces. Single osteotomy capitate shortening was performed with an oscillating saw and fixed with a single cannulated compression screw. A shortening of 1.5mm was obtained with this technique. Results At 1- to 2-year follow-up, all three patients had considerable pain relief but did not have a complete resolution of pain. There was a significant improvement in function and grip strength. There have been no cases with infection, nonunion, avascular necrosis or a need for a salvage procedure. Conclusion The simplified technique of capitate shortening is easy to perform, less traumatic to the capitate vascularity, and leads to good short-term functional results.

Kienbock’S Disease

We examined 133 patients with Kienböck’s disease, five of whom had bilateral disease. There were 47 women and 86 men. The mean age of patients was 42.7 years (range, 14–80 years). The frequencies of involvement of the right and left sides were approximately equal for women, but male patients tended to have right wrist joint involvement. The side of the affected wrist in the female group differed significantly from that in the male group. The age at onset for women was significantly higher than that for men. The percentage of manual workers was significantly lower among women than among men. The characteristics of Kienböck’s disease in women differed from those in men and those previously reported for this disease. These findings suggest that the pathogenesis of Kienböck’s disease in women differs from that in men.

Kienbock’S Disease

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.

Kienbock’S Disease

AbstractKienbock's disease also known as Lunatomalacia is a rare disorder involving the lunate. Damage to the lunate can lead to pain, stiffness, and in late stages, arthritis of the wrist. This disease is most common in men between the ages of 20 and 40 and rarely affects both wrists. Here we present a 35 year old male manual labourer who presented to our department with complaints of progressive pain and stiffness of his dominant wrist.Radiographically he was diagnosed to have Lichtmann class IIIA Kienbock's disease of the left wrist. He was managed with analgesics and wrist physiotherapy. On a review at three months he had an acceptable range of motion of the wrist he was symptom free.This article presents our patients history, radiological findings and management.

A 67-year-old man presented with a 2-month history of pain in his right buttock and lower limb. MRI depicted right L5/S1 lateral recess stenosis requiring surgical treatment; however, preoperative CT showed an approximately 7 cm long, thin, rod-shaped structure in the rectum, which was ultimately determined to be an accidentally ingested toothpick. It was removed surgically 6 days after diagnosis, because right leg pain worsened rapidly. The pain disappeared thereafter, and the symptoms have not recurred since. The pain might have been localised to the right buttock and posterior thigh in the early stages because the fine tip of the toothpick was positioned to the right of the anterior ramus of the S2 spinal nerve. Although sacral plexus disorder caused by a rectal foreign body is extremely rare, physicians should be mindful to avoid misdiagnosis.
