Kienböck’s disease also referred to as osteonecrosis of lunate bone or called lunatomalacia, is a rare condition in which lunate bone loses its blood supply leading to avascular necrosis. Radiography is the initial imaging technique for assessing Kienböck’s disease. MRI is likely to be the next best imaging examination after routine radiography and most sensitive and specific in differentiating all disease stages. We are presenting a case of osteonecrosis of lunate bone.
