ABSTRACT
Peste in 1843 before the advent of roentgenogram first described collapse of the carpal lunate. He believed the lesion to be a fracture with a traumatic etiology. Keinbock's in 1910 also thought the lesion to be the result of trauma. In 1928, Hulten noted that a short ulna was present in 78% of this patients with keinbock's diseases whereas only 23% of normal patients had a short ulna. No universally acceptable treatment is available for this disease. Treatment choice must be based on a number of variables including the experience of the swgeon, the desires and activity level of the patients, the anatomic variant of the ulna and most importantly on the stage of the disease. Twelve cases of keinbock's disease were treated in Kasr El Eini Hospital in the period from 1991-1995 by radial shortening. The indication, technique, results and complications of the procedure arepresenteed. The average follow up period was 2 years. The results were good in 83.3% [10 cases]
