Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate short-term clinical and radiological results of extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL) tendon ball arthroplasty for treatment of late-stage Kienböck’s disease. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data of 19 patients suffering from Kienböck’s treated with ECRL tendon ball arthroplasty between December 2014 and December 2016. Patients’ clinical functions were assessed using grip strength, range of motion (ROM) of the wrist, QuickDASH, Mayo wrist score, and visual analog scale score. Radiological examination was performed to assess carpal height ratio and progression of arthritis. Results: The median follow-up was 30 months (range, 12–36 months). At final follow-up, ROM of operated wrist was 71% of the nonoperated side. Thirteen (86.6%) patients were pain free. Carpal height ratio was statistically significantly reduced compared with preoperative values. All patients declared their satisfaction with the results due to their preoperative status. Conclusions: ECRL tendon ball arthroplasty is a new and good option for treatment of late-stage Kienböck’s disease with low complication rate.

Changes in carpal alignment following radial osteotomy were studied in 30 patients with Kienböck’s disease. The carpal height ratio and carpal-ulnar distance ratio were significantly less in wrists with Kienböck’s disease than unaffected wrists. This observation implies proximal-ulnar translation of the capitate. In addition, the lunate-covering ratio increased significantly, reflecting radial translation of the lunate. Radial osteotomy corrected ulnar translation of the capitate and increased the radial translation of the lunate, thus increasing the lunate-covering ratio. The increased lunate-covering ratio is believed to increase the area of distribution of the axial load through the lunate by increasing the contact area with the radius. The satisfactory clinical outcome of radial osteotomy is believed to be due to this effect on carpal alignment.

The purpose of this study was to assess the long-term clinical results and morphological changes after tendon ball arthroplasty for advanced Kienböck’s disease. Twenty-six patients were reviewed, with a mean follow-up interval of 125 months (range 50–226). At follow-up, mean score on the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire was 7.7 and mean visual analogue scale score for pain was 1. Mean carpal height ratio was significantly reduced with respect to the pre-operative value. On magnetic resonance imaging scans, cartilage damage, synovitis, and erosive or oedematous changes in the bones were detected in most patients. Calcification in the defect filled by the tendon ball was seen in all patients. Narrowing of the radioscaphoid joint and the presence of intercarpal synovitis were negatively associated with clinical outcome. Tendon ball arthroplasty in advanced Kienböck’s disease results in long-term satisfactory clinical outcomes, despite widespread changes in the bones and joints within the wrist.

AbstractCarpal height ratio and ulnar variance on plain X-ray were measured and compared to the width/height ratio of the lunate as measured on a computed tomography (CT) scan in 50 patients with Kienböck's disease. Width/height ratio of the lunate was also measured in a series of 50 controls. No correlation between ulnar variance and fractures was found. Conversely, the correlation between carpal height ratio on X-ray and width/height ratio on a CT scan was statistically significant. Similarly, the correlation between ulnar variance and width/height ratio was statistically significant. We have concluded that width/height ratio while correlating with carpal height is a better measure of lunate collapse. It also appeared that lunate collapse precedes carpal collapse, specifically most if not all lunates have collapsed prior to reduction in carpal height ratio. Finally, while we are unable to conclude the level at which the width/height ratio of lunate becomes unreconstructable, it does appear that in all Litchman stage 3b and most if not all of 3a the shape of the lunate has altered significantly.

We have carried out a replacement of the lunate in 12 patients with advanced Kienböck's disease, with excision of the lunate and insertion of an iliac bone flap wrapped into palmaris longus. The aims of this study were to determine the effect of this procedure for advanced Kienböck's disease. At a mean follow-up period of 45.3 months, the mean clinical score was excellent in all cases. Radiographically, progression of osteoarthritis (OA) in the radiocarpal joint was found in two patients. At follow-up, the X-ray findings indicated a reduced of osseous core in four patients. On the other hand, carpal height ratio showed no significant change at follow-up. Excision arthroplasty using a tendon ball with osseous core for advanced Kienböck's disease leads to OA progression in some cases. However, clinical results were excellent in all cases. Therefore, this current study provides effective therapeutic procedure for advanced Kienböck's disease.

Abstract Background Salvage procedures, such as proximal row carpectomy, limited or total wrist arthrodesis, and wrist replacement, are generally preferred to treat advanced Kienböck's disease. However, these procedures are particularly aggressive and may have unpredictable results and potentially significant complications. Questions/Purpose This study aimed to present the short- to mid-term clinical and functional results of arthroscopic debridement and arthrolysis in the management of advanced Kienböck's disease. Patients and Methods Fifteen patients in whom Lichtman Stages IIIA to IIIC or IV Kienböck's disease was diagnosed and treated by arthroscopic wrist debridement and arthrolysis were included in this retrospective study. The mean age was 30 years (range: 21–45). The mean follow-up period duration was 36 months (range: 18–60). The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) score, visual analog scale (VAS), wrist range of motion (ROM), and grip strength were measured preoperatively and then again at the final follow-up visit. Results The mean DASH and VAS scores improved from 41 (range: 31–52) and 7.1 (range: 6–8) preoperatively to 13 (range: 8–21) and 2 (range: 0–3; p < 0.001) at the final follow-up visit, respectively. The mean wrist flexion and extension values increased from 32 (range: 20–60 degrees) and 56 degrees (range: 30–70 degrees; p = 0.009) preoperatively to 34 (range: 10–65 degrees; p = 0.218) and 57 degrees (range: 30–70 degrees; p = 0.296) at the final follow-up appointment, respectively, although these findings were statistically insignificant. The mean strength of the hand grip increased from 22.7 (range: 9–33) to 23.3 (range: 10–34; p = 0.372). Conclusion Arthroscopic debridement and arthrolysis may improve wrist function and quality of life due to the preserved ROM and hand grip strength after short- to mid-term follow-up periods despite the radiographic progression of Kienböck's disease. Level of Evidence This is a Level IV, retrospective case series study.
