KIENBÖCK’S DISEASE

If you suffer from painful  and stiff wrist please Schedule an appointment with one of our orthopedic specialists as soon as possible

The term “Kienböck’s disease” refers to  a disease in which the lunate, one of the small bones in the wrist, loses blood supply.

As living tissue, Bone requires a regular blood supply for nutrients. If the bone loses blood supply,  the bone can eventually die in a state known as osteonecrosis.

Damaging  the lunate bone can cause a stiff, painful wrist and  lead to arthritis over time.
