The long-term result of 18 cases of Kienbock disease treated with a closed wedge osteotomy of the radius by dorsal approach for 10 cases (Lichtman classification; II-2, III a-7, III b-1), replacement of the lunate with a tendon ball prosthesis for 7 cases (Lichtman classification; III a-2, III b-3, IV-2), wrist arthrodesis for 1 case (Lichtman classification; IV-1), between 1978 and 1995 are presented. Mean duration of follow-up was 6.13 years (range: 6 months-13 years).Regarding the wedge osteotomy, the result of Lichtman's scoring system were satisfactory in 9 of 10, unsatisfactory in 1. Regarding replacement of the tendon ball prosthesis, the results were satisfactory in 5 of 7, unsatisfactory in 2. Regarding the wrist arthrodesis, the results were unsatisfactory in 1 of 1. Regarding stage at operation, no cases of stage II and III a were found to be unsatisfactory. All unsatisfactory cases were stage III b and IV. In radiological assessment, carpal height ratio and Stahl's index were not improved with our method. In several cases, slight osteoarthritic changes were found in the radio-carpal joints. However these changes did not affect clinical results. There were no findings of pseudoarthrosis.
