Avascular Necrosis of the Scaphoid Preiser Disease
Authors
Abstract:
No consensus regarding optimal treatment or etiology of Preiser disease exists. We described the epidemiology,classification and treatment characteristics of 18 patients with Preiser disease. Patients with changes related to previoustrauma, and without radiographs were excluded. Based on the radiographs at diagnosis, we classified 13 scaphoids asHerbert Lanzetta stage II, four as stage III, and one as stage IV. In 12 patients nonspecific treatment was offered andonly two patients received surgical treatment. We found that chosen treatment is not associated with the severity ofHerbert Lanzetta stage and the outcome is not influenced by chosen treatment.Level of evidence: I

Idiopathic avascular necrosis of the scaphoid.
Idiopathic avascular necrosis of the scaphoid is a rare condition. A review of the literature shows a variety of conditions labelled as spontaneous avascular necrosis or Preiser's disease. In this paper we report on a study of eight patients with idiopathic avascular necrosis affecting only the proximal pole of the scaphoid. Seven of these patients had positive ulnar variance. The possible aeti...

Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the scaphoid predominantly occurs in the proximal pole. Review of the literature revealed only six cases and all are suspect due to the lack of either MRI investigation or investigation of bleeding preoperatively. We report four new cases and one of them appears to be a real distal pole AVN of the scaphoid in the literature.

Whereas avascular necrosis of the scaphoid after a fracture is well-documented, idiopathic avascular necrosis of the scaphoid (Preiser's disease) is rare. Little is known of the aetiology of the condition and even less about the best course of management. We describe a rare case of bilateral Preiser's disease. Possible aetiological factors and a summary of the current concepts of management are...

Abstract Background: The varieties of treatment methods for the scaphoid non:::union::: have always been a discussable issue for orthopaedic surgeons. The current study, considered to be review for treatment results of the patients who sustained the scaphoid non:::union::: with or without avascular necrosis and compared these two groups clinically and radiologically. Methods: The clinical and ...
full textAvascular necrosis of the scaphoid in children treated by splint immobilisation: a report of two cases.
Avascular necrosis of the scaphoid following a fracture in children is rare and there is no established treatment protocol in the literature. We present two boys with nonunion and avascular necrosis of the scaphoid treated by simple immobilisation. Both cases healed with painless wrists and full movements. Our cases confirm that an ununited scaphoid fracture in children may heal with conservati...
