An Algorithmic Approach to the Treatment of Kienböck Disease.

The algorithm and rationale described is a reflection of our own surgical experience for this challenging disorder and can be compared with other publications. Our algorithm has evolved from treatment of a large volume of patients with Kienböck disease in a referral practice. However, it is limited to the management that we have found logical, effective, and within our scope of experience. The treatment guidelines for our specialty as a whole will evolve as our understanding of the etiology and our ability to quantify efficacy improves.
