    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Pathology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Preiser's disease, or avascular necrosis of the scaphoid, is a rare and debilitating condition.
    • Understanding its etiology is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • A case of progressive avascular necrosis of the carpal scaphoid is presented.
    • Histologic evaluation of resected specimens revealed a localized sequestrum of necrotic bone.

    Findings:

    • Disruption of blood supply is a major predisposing factor for avascular necrosis of the scaphoid.
    • Diagnosis requires a progressive clinical and radiographic sequence of osteosclerosis and fragmentation of the scaphoid.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of recognizing the specific diagnostic criteria for Preiser's disease.
  • Further research into the vascular supply of the scaphoid may elucidate more targeted treatment strategies.
