Traditional treatment strategies recommend operative treatment but high remodeling potential in children may allow conservative management.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Case Description\u2003We present the case of a 7-year-old female with 2 months of atraumatic right wrist pain who was found to have edematous signal change within the lunate on wrist magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) consistent with Kienbock's disease. She was treated with rigid immobilization for 12 weeks and transitioned to custom orthotic splint for another 3 months during activities. At her 6 month follow-up, she reported minimal wrist pain with repeat MRI demonstrating the resolution of lunate edema.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Literature Review\u2003Available literature shows a significant portion of patients treated conservatively subsequently require surgical intervention due to unresolved symptoms or progressive disease. Only three cases are reported in the literature where skeletally immature patients were successfully treated with conservative management alone<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Clinical Relevance\u2003We report the youngest case of Lichtman stage I Kienbock's disease successfully treated with conservative management resulting in clinical and imaging resolution. Younger patients may be able to successfully remodel and recover from Kienbock disease with extended time in conservative management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-1744492","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,22]],"date-time":"2022-04-22T00:49:53Z","timestamp":1650588593000},"page":"364-367","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Conservative Management of Kienbock's Disease in a 7-year Old: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"James","family":"Lendrum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, Colorado"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alex","family":"Lencioni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, Colorado"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ryan","family":"Calkins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, Colorado"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3993-8058","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Frank","family":"Scott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedics, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, Colorado"},{"name":"Orthopedics Institute, Children's Hospital Colorado, Aurora, Colorado"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,21]]},"reference":[{"issue":"11","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"883","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2017.06.107","article-title":"Risk factors of lunate collapse in Kienb\u00f6ck disease","volume":"42","author":"W F van Leeuwen","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Hand Surg Am"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"465","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2018.02.029","article-title":"Kienb\u00f6ck disease in the skeletally immature patient","volume":"43","author":"A Afshar","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Hand Surg Am"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"14","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2008.09.019","article-title":"Temporary scaphotrapezoidal joint fixation for adolescent Kienb\u00f6ck's disease","volume":"34","author":"Y Ando","year":"2009","journal-title":"J Hand Surg Am"},{"issue":"06","key":"ref4","first-page":"832","article-title":"Kienb\u00f6ck's disease in a 6-year-old boy","volume":"75","author":"P L Docquier","year":"2009","journal-title":"Acta Orthop Belg"},{"issue":"08","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1243","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-198870080-00018","article-title":"Recurrence of Kienb\u00f6ck disease in a twelve-year-old after radial shortening.
