Abstract

Two patients with Kienbocks disease were treated with microvascular loop graft to obtain the neovascularization of the avascular lunate. After each follow-up of forty-six months and eleven months, their results were complete relief of pain, definite decrease of sclerotic change in the radiologic finding and restoration of normal range of motion. This procedure is considered as a good method to help for the treatment of the Kienbocks disease.
