Treatment methods in Kienböck's disease remain controversial despite the long-term awareness of the disease by orthopedic surgeons. Currently, excisional arthroplasty with a palmaris longus tendon ball is one of the most frequently used treatment methods. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term results of thirty-eight patients who had been treated with excisional arthroplasty and palmaris longus tendon ball, as well as the effect of this method on carpal height.
