A member asked:
Had a l wrist pa oblique&lateral x-ray 1yr after a fall.report:very minimal ulnar plus variance with no clearcut lunate abutment change.nonspecific cyst in the body of the lunate.!worry about the cyst.do i need to remove it?doc said nothing about it.

Kienbochs disease: A cyst within the lunate bone can’t be removed like a soft tissue cyst. It could be an incidental finding (non-ossifying fibroma) or could indicate the early stages of Kienboch’s disease - avascular necrosis is the lunate due to increased stress/joint reactive forces from the ulnar plus deformity. Either way, if asymptomatic, no treatment is necessary.
