There was no significant relationship of the function status with occupation and Lichtman stage. Conclusion: During an average 18-month follow-up, patients diagnosed with ulna minus variance Kienbock's disease experienced notable improvements in wrist function and pain reduction with capitate shortening osteotomy as determined by VAS, range of motion, grasp strength, Cooney score, and DASH evaluations.
