Kienböck's disease in a 14-year-old gymnast: a case report

Guillaume Herzberg et al. J Hand Surg Am. 2006 Feb.

Abstract

Kienböck's disease is rare in children and there are few reports and therapeutic recommendations in the literature about this condition. We report a case of a 14-year-old female gymnast for whom nonsurgical treatment was followed by complete healing within 12 months. Repeated computed tomography scans provided a sequential coronal, sagittal, and transverse illustration of the progressive healing of the lunate.
