Abstract
Numerous literatures have described various procedures in the treatment of Kienbock's disease depending upon the
severity of the symptoms, patient characteristics and radiological staging. These range from conservative management
to surgical procedures. The case under study had Lichtman stage ** disease. Vascularised bone grafts provide improved
blood flow, osteocyte preservation, and accelerated healing rates. We inserted pronator quadratus pedicled bone graft
into our case of lunate osteonecrosis and temporarily fixed the graft. Clinically, the patient reported pain subsidence
with improvement in range of motion and grip strength. Vascularised pedicle and bone grafting is an effective way for
treatment of early and middle stages of osteonecrosis of lunate
