Summary:

This book covers the pathogenesis, etiology, diagnosis and treatment options for avascular necrosis of the lunate, offering readers a systematic overview of Kienbock’s disease. Each chapter shares scientific findings and abundant illustrations on the latest advances in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Although some factors are known to be associated with this condition, there are no conclusively verified causes or standard treatment. This book provides an essential basis for new approaches and further research into this largely unexplained condition. Accordingly, it offers a valuable resource for hand and orthopedic surgeons, clinical residents and medical students seeking a thought-provoking, instructive and informative read.
