Abstract
Preiser’s disease is a rare condition involving avascular necrosis of the scaphoid,
in part or in whole. Diagnosis currently is made most frequently by standard radiographs
and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Treatment options are varied because no large
series of comprehensive results has been reported. Vascularized or conventional bone
grafting, proximal row carpectomy, and scaphoid excision/4 bone fusion are performed
most commonly. If possible, every attempt to save the scaphoid should be made.
