Wrist AVN Symptoms
Kienbock's Disease is the name given to AVN in the bones of the wrist. The lunate bone is the central wrist bone and its purpose is to support the wrist joint and aid in hand movement. AVN in the lunate bone may follow a fracture or other wrist injury.
Wrist AVN is most common in men between the ages of 20 and 40 and can interfere with grasping, writing and other wrist movements. In addition, it causes stiffness, with tenderness over the lunate bone.3’Kienbock’s Disease.’ The American Society for Surgery of the Hand. https://www.assh.org/handcare/condition/kienbocks-disease
