Kienböck disease corresponds to avascular osteonecrosis of the lunate, with a chronic course. Its diagnosis relies on both clinical findings and imaging. We report the case of a patient presenting with chronic wrist pain, without any history of acute trauma, in whom radiological investigations established the diagnosis. Conventional radiography showed suggestive findings at an advanced stage, including increased density and deformation of the lunate. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated fragmentation with increased density of the lunate. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enabled assessment of bone viability. Through this case, we highlight the complementary role of different imaging modalities in Kienböck disease.
