Remedies For Kienbock's Disease

Surgical Procedures

Certain cases of Kienbock’s disease may require more invasive treatment options. There are a variety of surgical procedures intended to treat Keinbock’s disease. Doctors will recommend the right procedure for how far their patient's case has progressed. The stage of the disease dictates the goal of the surgery. In the early stages, it may be possible to restore blood flow to the lunate. A piece of healthy bone with good blood flow is introduced to the lunate in the hopes it will bring blood flow back to the affected bone. If the disease is more advanced, doctors may advise a procedure that removes the lunate and two other bones in the wrist. This generally alleviates pain while maintaining a moderate level of wrist mobility. Some cases may lead doctors to suggest an entire wrist replacement.
