Kienböck's disease--update on silicone replacement arthroplasty
TL;DR: In a previous paper, early lunate silicone replacement arthroplasty for Kienbock's disease was advocated because of poor results obtained in stage III disease, and an additional 16 patients have been operated on, and 12 underwent successful SRA.

Treatment of Non-United Navicular Fractures by total Excision of the Bone and the Insertion of Acrylic Prostheses
TL;DR: The treatment of non-united Navicular Fractures by total Excision of the Bone and the Insertion of Acrylic Prostheses is described in this article, where the authors present a procedure for the insertion of acrylic prosthesis.

End results of excision of the carpal bones.
TL;DR: In this article, the carpal, navicular and the lunate bones are considered to be the keystone of the scapholunary system, which forms the intermediary joint between the radius and the capitate and is responsible for the amplitude of movement that the wrist enjoys.
