Kienböck's disease and gout

J Hand Surg Br. 1999 Jun;24(3):363-5. doi: 10.1054/jhsb.1999.0072.

Abstract

A relationship between gout and Kienbock's disease has been proposed on the basis of a previously published case report. A review of patients at our institution identified a single case with the combination of both Kienbock's disease and gout. We believe that the association is coincidental.
