Abstract
Thirteen wrists with Kienböck's disease, stage III or IV, were denervated. Three wrists were examined repeatedly over a period of 2 1/2 years prior to operation, showing the natural course of lunate compression. The remaining 10 wrists were operated on sooner after diagnosis and the lunate compression was compared with the natural compression course. The hypothesis that wrist denervation was detrimental to the lunate was not supported by the present material.Keywords
