Case Report

M. CVITANICH
M. SOLOMONS

From the The Martin Singer Hand Clinic, Groote Schuur Hospital, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Cape Town, South Africa

Correspondence: Dr M. Solomons, 3 Brookwood Road, Rondebosch, Cape Town 7700, South Africa. Tel.: +27-21-4045108; fax: +27-21-6891200; E-mail: docsol{at}iafrica.com

An 8-year-old boy with stage III Kienböck’s disease was treated by immobilization of the wrist. He made a complete clinical recovery and serial X-rays and MRI scans demonstrated complete revascularization of the lunate which regained near normal architecture.
