Scaphoid Avascular Stenosis /skaf-oid ey-vas–kyuh-ler sti-noh–sis/.

Avascular necrosis of the keel, also known as disease Preiser. Avascular necrosis (avascular stenosis) usually occurs in 15-30% of cases. The most common site of avascular necrosis is the proximal ulnar pole.

Patients often come to the clinic because of pain and difficulty moving the wrist that occurs after a long-term wrist injury.

X-ray imaging is usually a fracture with fracture fragments. MRI is more sensitive than conventional radiographs for diagnosis.
