Description: We have treated a total of 16 cases of advanced Kienböck's disease, stage III and IV by Lichtman's classification, with triscaphe fusion, tendon ball replacement arthroplasty after excision of lunate, proximal row carpectomy as a salvage procedure and limited wrist fusionConclusively the proper way to treat advanced Kienböck's disease seems to depend on the patient's age, their job and sex, and the stage of disease. And the cause of wrist pain in advanced Kienböck's disease seems due to ligamentous carpal instability rather than osteoarthritis on radio-lunate joint.
