About this condition
Kienbock's disease is a painful condition where a small bone in the wrist (lunate) loses its blood supply and gradually dies, causing wrist pain, stiffness, and weakness. It typically affects young adults and can worsen over time if untreated, potentially leading to arthritis. Treatment ranges from splinting and medication in early stages to surgery in advanced cases to preserve wrist function.
