Transcript of Kienbock disease ( an overall View ) Mohamad Othman, MD 4-10 - 2012.
- KD ( or lunatomalacia ) is an idioopathic AVN of carpal lunate which may lead to collapse of the bone and arthritis in the advanced stage
- first described in 1843 by Peste in cadaver dissections. - Robert Kienbock ( 1910) , a radiologist, described the x-ray changes associated w KD.
Definition & history
Epidemiology• 15 and 40 years • dominant wrist of men engaged in manual labor
Natural history of KD remains unclear & un-predictable
- unknown ; theories :
Fault plate hypothesis:Intrinsic ( lunate) & extrinsic factors ----- elastic deformation of trabeculae 2ry to loading ----- fault plates ---- wall off & interfere w capillary bl. Flow ----- AVN
Aetiology :
- repetitive microtrauma in the lunate at risk ( predisposed lunate ) ;
Extrinsic factors:- capitate- lunate loading- ulnar variance : ulnar-negative variant wrist is common association ( Hulten, 1928). ulnar-positive variant- load type - instability
Stage I: Radiographically normal lunate or with small fracture lines
Stage II: Sclerosis of lunateStage III A: Collapse or fragmentation of lunateStage IIIB: Lunate collapse with carpal malalignment ie; proximal migration of capitate (carpal height ratio <0.54 ± 0.03) and fixed hyperflexed rotation of scaphoid( DISI)[radioscaphoid angle > 60]Stage IV: Generalized wrist arthrosis
Staging ( Modified Lichtman Classification )
Clinical picture
- Complaint may precede XR changes- Varies according to stage- Pain. Tenderness ,swelling, clunk w deviation, dec ROM , weak grip
- Plain XR : views….. Measurements…. Staging.
- CT- Scintigraphy - MRI : earliest diagnosis : uniform low signal in T1
Investigations
Differential diagnosis:
- ulnar impaction synd. ( MRI)- DRUJ arthritis- Lunate Fx , intraoss ganglion, enchondroma.
Objectives : (a) precollapse (b) postcollapse
Methods:
Established methods:Direct vascularizationIndirect vascularization ( unloading procedures): joint-levelling procedures limited carpal fusions Salvage procedures: PRC wrist arthrodesisOptional & controversial methods:- conservative-Lunate excision ± replacement ( PL tendon ball , silicon, titanium)- Core decompression of distal metaphysis of R & U- Temporary ST pinning ; 3-6 mo . Stage III- External fixation- RSO in stage IIIB- RO + VBG in stage III - Wrist denervation; stage IV- Arthroscopic debridement
Treatment
Stage I: Controversial ; not completely-unload lunate.Choice in transient ischemia. After 3 mo, aggressive management as stage II
Stage I, II, or IIIA with Ulnar-Negative Variance : (1) Lunate unloading by joint-leveling procedures ( RS > UL) or (2) Lunate revascularization by VBG
Stage I, II, or IIIA with Ulnar-Positive or Ulnar-Neutral Variance : (1) unloading by Capitate shortening ± capitate-hamate fusion or radius ost. (2) VBG ( ± STT-pinning)
Treatment Algorithm
Stage IIIB :-intercarpal fusions (STT and SC )- Proximal row carpectomy ( PRC)-RSO-Lunate excision
Stage IV :- conservative- Proximal row carpectomy- wrist fusion-
Treatment Algorithm ( cont.)
Radial shortening osteotomy
• Approach ; volar > dorsal• 2-3mm ( not > 4mm ; UC impaction )• Meaphyseal / meta-diaphyseal• Not decrease ROM• Not in ulna positive wrist
Distal radius wedge osteotomy
- Stage II or III w ulna-neutral or positive wrist- Lateral closing wedge osteotomy : decrease RU-inclination thus shifting press from lunate- Medial closing osteotomy or lat opening wedge o- Step- cut osteotomy
VBG Sources: - Base of 2nd or 3rd metacarpal-Neck of 2nd meatacarpal-1,2 ICSRA - 2,3 ICSRA - 4th or 5th CA- Hori technique- Pisiform-PQ+ unloading procedure: - external fixator or - temporary STT-pinning or - radius osteotomy
Limited carpal fusion
- Objective : redistribute stresses away from lunate- Correct scaphoid malrotation 1st
- SC / STT-Decreases ROM-Excise lunate; only if fragmented w marked synovitis
