title: Use of triscaphe fusion in the treatment of Kienböck's disease.
abstract: The disability of Kienböck's disease is a manifestation of carpal collapse. Significant loading for any wrist must be taken on the radial side. Triscaphe arthrodesis provides a support mechanism for the collapsed lunate, a solid bone-cartilage mechanism for load transference to the radius, and maintenance of satisfactory motion.
