X-ray shows cortical irregularity and internal lucencies of the lunate, suggestive of lunatomalacia (Kienbock disease) with resultant volar intercalated segment instability (VISI) and secondary osteoarthritic changes of the radiocarpal joint.
Case Discussion
Radiological features are in keeping of chronic stage lunatomalacia with resultant volar intercalated segment instability (VISI) and secondary osteoarthritic changes.
