Die avaskuläre Kapitatumnekrose bei Sportlern
Avascular Necrosis of the Capitate in AthletsPublication History

Zusammenfassung
Bei unklaren Hand- bzw. Handgelenksschmerzen bei Sportlern sollte auch immer an die Möglichkeit einer Osteonekrose im Karpalbereich gedacht werden, insbesondere wenn Sportarten wie Turnen und Gewichtheben mit extremen Belastungen der Handgelenke durch axiale Stauchungen mit Mikrotraumatisierungen ausgeübt werden, da das Zusammentreffen solcher extremen Handgelenksbelastungen mit einer konstitutionell bedingten „schwachen” Blutversorgung einzelner karpaler Knochen zur Entwicklung einer Osteonekrose führen kann. Mithilfe von vaskulär versorgten Knochentransplantaten steht eine pathomorphologisch nachvollziehbare Behandlungsmethode zur Verfügung, die zu einem exzellenten Behandlungsergebnis führen kann.
Abstract
The possibility of osteonecrosis of the carpal bones should always be considered when athletes present with pain of unknown origin in the hand and wrist, in particular, if they are participating in sports such as gymnastics or weight-lifting that involve extreme loading of the wrist with axial compression and microtrauma. This sort of extreme loading of the wrist combined with a constitutionally “weak” blodd supply to the individual carpal bones may lead to the formation of osteonecrotic zones. A treatment method that can poduce excellent results, depending on the pathomorphology, is available in the form of vascularized bone grafting.
