Abstract:
Kienböck disease can be treated either conservatively or by various operations. We describe the findings of the progression of Kienböck disease over 60 years in an 84-year-old man who had had no surgical treatment. This is the longest follow-up ever reported to our knowledge of a patient with avascular necrosis of the lunate.
