Revascularization procedures in the treatment of Kienböck's disease.
Lunate revascularization by means of vascular bundle implantation is one of the useful procedures for stages I and II Kienböck's disease, but for stage III, it should be combined with some biomechanical procedure or partial carpal fusion. There is no indication for this procedure in stage IV disease.
