Abstract

Purpose

Diagnosis and treatment remain controversial for Kienböck disease. A few reports have correlated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is essential for early diagnosis, and histopathology of Kienböck biopsy specimens, but histopathological correlations of whole lunate bones or histological slices compared with MRI images are lacking. The purpose of this study was to compare presurgical MRI scans with corresponding histological slices of Kienböck-diseased lunates.
