[Management of malacia of the os lunatum by implantation of a dorsal metacarpal vascular bundle].
In the treatment of malacia of the lunate bone, beside the prosthesis and procedures aiming the decrease of load, the revascularization of the bone is the third basic therapeutic principle. One possibility of the later, not yet current in this country, is the implantation of the metacarpal vascular bundle in the lunate bone. As far as we know we were the first to perform this operation in Hungary. In this paper our first cases are described together with a detailed description of the operative technique and we would call at the same time to further common examinations.
