Cases of Kienböck's disease combined with
gout are rare; to the best of our knowledge, the current report is the third such case reported in the literature. The current report presents the case of a 49-year-old male patient with Kienböck's disease combined with
gout. The patient had experienced swelling and
pain of their right wrist for 1 month. Through a combination of clinical history, physical examination, laboratory results, radiological and intraoperative findings, the patient was diagnosed with stage IIIB-IV Kienböck's disease and
gout. The patient recovered well following a
synovectomy and medication for
gout. The rarity of the present case makes it difficult to examine the potential association between
gout and Kienböck's disease. Kienböck's disease combined with
gout tends to be ignored and is easily misdiagnosed. However, the
surgical procedure selection for Kienböck's disease combined with
gout is markedly different from the conventional surgery for Kienböck's disease or
gout alone. The current study outlines a successful treatment strategy for
gout combined with
Kienbock's disease.
