- Abstract
- Introduction: In Kienböcks disease, the wrist displays certain characteristic
radiological parameters, which have been reported to differ among countries. In the
present study, we aimed to determine whether patients with Kienböcks disease
have specific radiological features and to determine the extent of the association of
each parameter with the disease in the Korean population.
Methods: This retrospective comparative study assessed the radiological
parameters of patients with Kienböcks disease (n = 53) and controls (n = 53) who
visited out institution between January 2000 and May 2013. As the affected wrists
could not be appropriately evaluated, the radiological parameters were measured in
the contralateral wrist of each patient.
Results: We observed that wrists with a high lunate tilting angle (LTA) and lunate
covering index (LCI), and low ulnar variance (UV) and Ståhls index (SI) had a
tendency to develop Kienböcks disease. The radiological tendency of Kienböcks
disease () was expressed using these parameters.
Conclusion: A high LTA and LCI, and low UV and SI on plain radiography might
be associated with Kienböcks disease in the Korean population. The radiological
probability of Kienböcks disease could be assessed from the radiological
parameters quantitatively. These radiological characteristics might help in the
detection of Kienböcks disease by physicians at an early stage in the Korean
population.
