Abstract
We report a patient with stage IIIB Kienböck disease treated with radial shortening where preoperative and sequential postoperative imaging were done using in vivo high-resolution peripheral quantitative micro–computed tomography (micro-CT) scan. Sequential in vivo micro-CT scan analysis of a target zone of the Kienböck lunate of this patient demonstrated early signs of lunate remodeling (bone trabecular densification) at 5-month follow-up suggesting an ongoing healing process. These early remodeling micro-CT scan signs were confirmed at 5 years' follow-up as well.
