Kienbock's disease in cerebral palsy

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.

Kienbock’S Disease

Examination of 110 patients with cerebral palsy revealed a diagnosis of Kienböck’s disease in six wrists in five cases. All had cerebral palsy of the mixed type with athetosis and high muscle tone. It is considered that the increased prevalence of Kienböck’s disease in these cases was attributable to repeated minor trauma to the lunate from childhood due to high muscle tone across the wrist joint, together with negative ulnar variance. The high prevalence of Kienböck’s disease observed in patients with cerebral palsy strongly suggests that repeated minor trauma together with negative ulnar variance is also the cause of Kienböck’s disease in normal individuals.
