Abstract:
The term Preiser's disease typically is used to describe idiopathic avascular necrosis of the scaphoid, but there have been a number of putative etiologies considered. It is rare and the natural history is not fully understood. Management of the condition should be based on patient factors as well as the stage of disease with regard to the scaphoid and the surrounding wrist. This chapter appraises the available evidence and aims to provide the reader with a framework to manage this rare condition.
