Shelly's original diagnostic X-ray This is a good example of why an MRI is necessary to diagnose Kienbock's disease at its onset. Notice that the xray shows nothing terribly unusual. Stage 1 Kienbock's disease
Ten days post radial wedge osteotomy note the change in the inclination of the radial head
3 months post-op note the lack of new bone growth at the osteotomy site
6 months post-op finally, bone growth can be detected after 75 days with a bone growth stimulator
