[Restitution of lunate bone necrosis in a child (author's transl)].
We reported a case of aseptic bone-cartilage necrosis of the os lunatum in a child. All indications for constitutional disposition, anatomic variations in the wrist joint or a traumatizing of the wrist joint were absent. Etiologically, a disturbance in vascularization could be assumed. The increased repair potential in children apparently led to a restitution which has not been observed in adults.
