Kienbock's disease occurs most frequently between 20 and 30 years of age (Gillespie, 1961). The youngest patient with Kienbock's disease in literature written in English is a 10-year-old boy (Nakamura et al., 1990). We report the case of an 11-year-old girl with Kienbock's disease whom we treated with radial shortening. Five months after surgery, radiographs showed signs of rapid disappearance of avascular necrosis of the lunate, and the patient had excellent clinical results. Two years postoperatively no recurrence of avascular necrosis of the lunate has occurred.
肯尼伯克病最常发生于20至30岁之间（吉莱斯皮，1961年）。英文文献中记载的最年轻的肯尼伯克病患者是一名10岁男孩（中村等人，1990年）。我们报告一例11岁患有肯尼伯克病的女孩，我们采用桡骨缩短术对其进行治疗。术后五个月，X线片显示月骨缺血性坏死迹象迅速消失，患者临床效果极佳。术后两年，月骨缺血性坏死未复发。
