The case: Kienbock's disease and Scapholunate advanced collapse

摘要

A 43-year-old woman with diabetic peripheral neuropathy and a history of remote carpal tunnel release and dorsal wrist ganglion excision 7 years earlier presented to an orthopedic surgeon for a second opinion on her left wrist pain, which had persisted for 6 months. The patient reported intermittent throbbing pain on the dorsum of her left wrist that occurred several times a day and was worse with exercise and usual daily activities. She rated this 7 out of 10 on the pain scale. She had connsulted 3 other physicians and had tried splinting, which provided no relief of her pain.
