Abstract
KEY POINTS
• The etiology and pathogenesis of Kienböck disease involves osseous, vascular, and chondral aspects of the lunate and the wrist, including the proximal and distal articulations with the radius and capitate, respectively.
• There is not one typical “Kienböck’s phenotype”; disease can be seen both in the young and the elderly, in both sexes, and radiographic progression may differ in each group
•Dynamic” pathology is seen at different stages of Kienböck disease. Dynamic pathology can contribute to symptoms and is important for disease progression. We recommend 4-dimensional computed tomography scanning in select cases to determine these dynamic aspects of the disease.
