Kienbock's disease is Osteonecrosis Of The Lunate . By a mechanism that still is not entirely understood, the blood flow to the lunate bone of the wrist is compromised to such an extent that osteonecrosis ensues and collapse and fragmentation of the  bone occurs over time . The end result can be degenerative arthritis of the radio-carpal joint and pain .  Pathogenesis Various predisposing factors exist. About 75% of patients have a shorter ulna compared to the radius, as  measured at the wrist ( Ulnar Negative Variance ). The slope of the distal radius articular surface is found   to be more horizontal . Approximately 25% of lunate are thought to have a single vessel blood supply. Repetitive micro-fracture of the bone or a single fracture have been suggested as the cause of  osteonecrosis of the lunate. Incidence More common in Males that females. It occurs more frequently between the ages of 15 and 40 years a...
