The pathophysiology of Kienbock's disease is not well understood : factors that
were previously considered as potentially being responsible for the disease are
now only seen as predisposing factors that contribute to discovering pre-existing
disease. The natural history of the disease is also not well known. The arthroscopic classification proposed by Bain and Begg is now an essential
supplement to the well-known Lichtman radiographic classification system. Various
treatment options exist and some are better suited to each stage of the disease.
This review will explore the advantages and disadvantages of these treatment
options and match them with the best indications.
