Öğe Mid term results of radial metaphyseal core decompression on Kienböck’s disease(Verduci Editore s.r.l, 2017) Sevimli R.; Ertem K.; Aslantürk O.; Ari B.OBJECTIVE: Kienböck’s disease is a commonly seen posttraumatic avascular necrosis characterized by avascular necrosis of the lunate bone of the wrist which involves the dominant hand. In our study, we aimed to present midterm outcomes of 12 cases treated with radial metaphyseal core decompression. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In our clinic, 12 patients who applied to our outpatient clinic with intractable pain despite at least six weeks of conservative treatment were previously diagnosed and evaluated as Kienböck’s disease between the years 2006 and 2014. Patients at early stage received radial metaphyseal core decompression. RESULTS: The patients were evaluated as postoperative grip strength, flexion-extension gap, ulnar-radial deviation gap, VAS, Quick DASH and MAYO wrist scoring and patient satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS: We determined that interventions performed for Kienböck’s disease cannot halt radiological progression. We are of the opinion that radial metaphyseal core decompression, aiming at increasing blood perfusion, improve early diagnosis and treatment of Kienböck’s disease, increasing the patient satisfaction. © 2017 Verduci Editore s.r.l.
