Abstract:
Idiopathic avascular necrosis of the capitate is a disorder of unknown etiology that causes wrist pain and limitation of function. Many different treatments have been presented in the literature with varying clinical results and levels of patient satisfaction. We present a case of a 23-year-old woman successfully treated with scaphocapitolunate arthrodesis.
