“…In 44% the cause remained unknown. Recently, the previously unpublished images of Preiser’s original article on idiopathic AVN of the scaphoid were re-evaluated (Kallen and Strackee, 2014; Preiser, 1910). All five cases presented by Preiser showed a fracture in the scaphoid.…”

Avascular necrosis of the capitate is rare. Little is known about the aetiology, disease progression or optimal management. From 1992 to 2012 we treated six patients; four had a scaphocapitolunate arthrodesis and two had a four corner arthrodesis. The average follow up was 9 years (range 1-20). Three patients had good or excellent results, two fair and one poor, based on a visual analogue scale for pain and satisfaction and a Quick-DASH score. The Mayo wrist score was satisfactory in five cases and poor in one. Better results were seen when the arthrodesis fused. In the English, French and German literature 42 other cases were found. The aetiology, patient characteristics, clinical presentation, treatment and outcome were reviewed.

“…Preiser disease is characterised by avascular necrosis of the scaphoid [ 1 ]. The pathology is controversial [ 2 ], although, patients typically complain of wrist pain and limitation of wrist motion. Plain radiographs showed scaphoid sclerosis without visible fracture, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated abnormal intensity in the scaphoid [ 1 ].…”

Background The pathology of Preiser disease remains controversial, and treatment for Preiser disease has not yet been standardised. Preiser disease itself is rare, and although it can be found in children, its presentation is even rarer; therefore, the treatment of paediatric patients with Preiser disease is more unclear than adult cases. Case presentation A 10-year-old boy who complained of left wrist pain was diagnosed with Preiser disease from osteosclerosis and segmentation on plain radiography and computed tomography, and low signal intensity on both T1- and T2-weighted images on magnetic resonance imaging. Because the patient was a child whose scaphoid was immature and pre-ossified, we chose a conservative immobilisation treatment with a thumb spica cast followed by an orthosis. After 3 months of immobilisation, the distal pole of the scaphoid showed remodelling. One year after the initial visit, plain radiography showed remodelling of the whole scaphoid, although magnetic resonance T1-weighted image showed that the recovery of intensity change was only observed in the distal pole. Two years after the initial visit, both plain radiography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a normal appearance and 5 years after the initial visit; the scaphoid bone showed normal development. Conclusions This is the first case report of Preiser disease before complete ossification of the scaphoid; therefore, we cannot say anything definitive about the treatment strategy. However, our experience suggests that conservative treatment may provide a cure for Preiser disease in children with immature ossification of the scaphoid without carpal collapse.

“…[1] As a retrospective review of his original 1910 article points out, in all 5 of his cases there was a fracture of the scaphoid. [2] Despite this, the term Preiser's Disease has become synonymous with AVN of the scaphoid without previous fracture.…”
