Abstract
In our hospital, 22 cases of Kienböck's disease were treated during 1958 to 1965. This series was discussed clinically and radiographically.
The time of follow-up varies from 6 months to 5 years. Variation of the age, sex and site of these patients was same as other reports.
In the conservative treatment, bone drilling and bone grafts good results were obtained only for the pain, but not for the restoration of the wrist joint motion.
