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

We report a unique case of the total loss of the intermediate cuneiform by posttraumatic avascular necrosis resulting from a left foot open fracture and dislocation of the navicular bone and medial and intermediate cuneiforms at the Chopart and Lisfranc joints in a 64-year-old woman. The injury was managed with open reduction and internal fixation with Kirschner wires and cannulated screws. During postoperative follow-up, we observed avascular necrosis of the intermediate cuneiform and the total loss of the bone. An extensive English literature search revealed only one case report published on this topic. Thus, we provide this case study to help guide clinical decision making in the future.

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.
