Summary Preiser's Disease is a condition caused by avascular necrosis of the scaphoid which can lead to progressive radial-sided wrist pain. Diagnosis can be made with wrist radiographs showing sclerosis and fragmentation of the proximal pole of the scaphoid without evidence of fracture. Treatment is NSAIDs and observation in minimally symptomatic patients. A variety of operative procedures are available depending on severity of disease and patient's symptoms.
