A member asked:
Have wrist pain. x ray ulnar variance. doc said it might be kienbock.if it were kienbock, when do i take the mri? right away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Keinbocks disease: involves the blood supply of the lunate, a bone in the wrist. MRI is used to diagnose and help stage the early disease. Standard X-rays are also used as the later stages show. Positive ulnar variance refers to the ulna being too long and it can impact the lunate. MRI may at times not differentiate early impaction v keinbocks. Timing depends upon symptoms, response to rx, and history
