In case of partial necrosis in the early stage of osteonecrosis of the wrist, it may be gradually recovered to be cured through conservative treatment. However, if it has been completely necrotic or deformed, surgical treatment is needed to alleviate the symptom, which can only restore part of the function, but cannot be completely cured.
For mild osteonecrosis of the hand, conservative treatment is generally adopted, using plaster external fixation to reduce local activities and wear and tear, which is conducive to promoting blood circulation and bone healing, and local pain can be orally administered with non-steroidal drugs for anti-inflammatory and analgesic purposes, which can be gradually cured after standardized treatment.
If conservative treatment is ineffective, and the lunate bone is completely necrotic and dysfunctional, surgical treatment can be chosen, such as tendon mass tamponade, joint decompression, bone flap bone grafting and other surgical methods to remove the dead bone to rebuild the blood circulation and improve the function of the joints, which can restore most of the functions of the hand, but cannot be completely restored.
If the patient has osteonecrosis of the wrist, it is recommended to consult the hospital in time, choose the appropriate treatment plan according to the cause of the disease, and treat it as early as possible to maximize the possibility of restoring the joint function.
