Kienbock Countdown - Friday the 13th
Kienbock's Disease (KD) - it's not a disease. How did it ever get to be called a disease?, I have no idea.
Anyway, I have this condition and I'm having radius shortening surgery on Friday the 13th of October.
The plan is to document how it goes on this very web site - an event so exciting, it might even generate a comment.
A bit of context - KD is a condition where blood supply is lost to the lunate bone in the wrist and various bad things happen as a consequence.
My lunate has lost its blood supply and has a fracture.
The typical solution is to do a radius shortening to redistribute the load within the wrist so there is no pain. 6 months after surgery, I should be able to go mountain biking again.
So, if you're unfortunate enough to have KD too, or are supremely bored, stay tuned for updates....
