Article Title: Kienbock Disease in a Patient with Congenital Synostosis of the Lunate and the Triquetrum: A Case Report
Abstract: CASE: We describe the case of a 40-year-old man with Minnaar type-III congenital synostosis of the lunate and the triquetrum who presented with Lichtman stage-I Kienbock disease. Surgical treatment consisted of capitate shortening with a capitate-hamate fusion. CONCLUSION: This case demonstrates the tenuous regional nature of the vascularity to the lunate, even in the setting of a complete lunotriquetral synostosis.
