Arthroscopic Lunate Excision Provides Excellent Outcomes for Low-Demand Patients with Advanced Kienbock's Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To examine the clinical outcomes of arthroscopic lunate excisions for advanced Kienböck's disease.

Methods

Fifteen patients (six men and nine women; mean age: 65 years; range: 48-83 years) with advanced Kienböck's disease, who underwent arthroscopic lunate resection between April 2008 and March 2016, were reviewed clinically and radiographically after a follow-up of >2 years (mean: 29 months; range: 24-60 months). Clinical parameters, such as wrist range of motion, grip strength, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) score, and patient-rated wrist evaluation (PRWE) score were evaluated. Radiographic parameters included radioscaphoid angle, scaphocapitate angle, carpal height ratio, ulnar-triquetrum distance, and the scaphoid-triquetrum distance. Wilcoxon
