20249 citationsOpen accessPort Said University

Abstract

Evidence level: II. Our research demonstrates that SC arthrodesis is a valuable approach for reducing pain, improving grip strength, and enhancing overall function in individuals with advanced Kienböck's disease. Importantly, our results indicate no notable differences in outcomes between patients diagnosed with stage IIIB or IIIC Kienböck's disease.
