En esta obra, tras un novedoso estudio anatómico del semilunar y su vascularización, se efectúa un exhaustivo examen sobre su origen, sometiendo a crítica las diversas teorías que al respecto se han formulado. De igual modo, se analiza la clínica, las exploraciones complementarias y el diagnóstico diferencial de la enfermedad de Kienböck, aspectos todos ellos fundamentales para detectarla en sus fases iniciales que permitan un rápido y eficaz tratamiento. Finalmente, se analizan los diferentes tratamientos que en la actualidad se están empleando en función del estadio de la enfermedad, identificando sus ventajas e inconvenientes.
