Kienbock's disease.
The patient was a 53-year-old male with a chief complaint of right wrist pain of insidious onsent for the past month. The patient reported no recent trauma, but said he had multiple falls while skiing and mountain biking. Wrist radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging revealed ulnar variance and signs of osteonecrosis of the lunate, or Kienbock's disease. The patient underwent a radial shortening osteotomy in an effort to reduce compressive forces on the lunate and further fragmentation and collapse.
