Two unusual cases of Kienböck’s disease are reported. The first is of a young woman whose presenting feature was spontaneous rupture of the flexor pollicis longus tendon. This is the first reported case in which such a rupture was the presenting feature of the condition. The second of a 71-year-old woman with scleroderma and Raynaud’s disease who did not develop Kienböck’s disease until late in life. The literature contains no older patient with this condition and a likely association is made between the avascular necrosis and the vasculitis associated wit this connective tissue disorder.

A relationship between gout and Kienböck’s disease has been proposed on the basis of a previously published case report. A review of patients at our institution identified a single case with the combination of both Kienböck’s disease and gout. We believe that the association is coincidental.
