    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Hand Surgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Kienböck's disease is a condition affecting the lunate bone in the wrist.
    • The ulnar minus variant is a skeletal variation where the ulna is shorter than the radius.
    • Previous studies suggest a potential link between the ulnar minus variant and Kienböck's disease.

    Observation:

    • A case study detailing a patient with unilateral ulnar minus variant and ipsilateral Kienböck's disease.
    • The ulnar minus variant was likely caused by trauma to the distal ulnar growth plate.
    • The contralateral wrist showed no abnormalities.

    Findings:

    • The presence of both ulnar minus variant and Kienböck's disease in the same wrist.
    • The findings support the hypothesis that the ulnar minus variant is a contributing factor to the development of Kienböck's disease.
    • Trauma-induced ulnar minus variant may increase susceptibility to Kienböck's disease.

    Implications:

    • This case provides further evidence for the etiologic relationship between ulnar minus variant and Kienböck's disease.
    • Understanding this relationship can aid in the diagnosis and management of wrist conditions.
    • Further research into growth plate injuries and their long-term effects on wrist biomechanics is warranted.
