Abstract

Kienbock’s disease or osteonecrosis of the lunate is an uncommon cause of wrist pain. Though there have been several reports of cases in patients with various rheumatologic diseases, the precise etiology has currently not been established. We report a case of Kienbock’s disease that occurred in a patient with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. To our knowledge, this is the first case report with an association between these two conditions.
