Popis: Vascularized bone grafts have shown favorable outcomes in Kienbock's disease, preventing the progression of lunate collapse and avascular necrosis. Here we describe our experience using a 4+5 extensor compartmental artery (ECA) vascularized bone graft combined with K-wire fixation. Between September 2010 and June 2013, 9 patients with Lichtman stage II-IIIA disease underwent arthroscopy prior to 4+5 ECA graft placement combined with temporary fixation (scaphocapitate and triquetrum-capitate joints). The average follow-up was 69 months (range, 51-92 months). Changes in pain, range of motion, grip strength, and pinch strength were analyzed. All patients had satisfactory recovery, especially pain relief and grip strength improvement (both P
