A member asked:
I have kinebock disease i had an operation 3 weeks ago but the tip of my thumb has just started to go numb is this to be expected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kienböck's disease: Tip of the thumb is innervated by the median & radial nerves; lunate bone (one involved in kienböck's is on the ulnar side of the wrist. If the scaphoid bone on the thumb side of the wrist were involved, the thumb might be affected. Best to ask the surgeon who performed the operation.
