title: Unilateral osteonecrosis in a patient with bilateral os centrale carpi: imaging findings.
abstract: The os centrale carpi is one of the accessory ossicles that have been described in the carpus. We report on the imaging findings of a rare case of unilateral osteonecrosis in a patient with bilateral os centrale carpi. The differential diagnosis of this entity and the suggested etiology for the development of osteonecrosis are discussed.
