Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a high-performance medical polymer, and there are some clinical cases of PEEK prosthesis implantation. However, application of 3D-printed injection-molded PEEK lunate prosthesis for treatment of stage III Kienböck's disease has not been reported. This study's purpose was to analyze the clinical efficacy of 3D-printed injection-molded PEEK lunate prosthesis in the treatment of stage III Kienböck's disease and thus provide a good therapeutic choice for Kienböck's disease.
