TY - JOUR T1 - Stress injury of the lunate in tennis players: a case series and related biomechanical considerations JF - British Journal of Sports Medicine JO - Br J Sports Med SP - 812 LP - 815 DO - 10.1136/bjsm.2007.036806 VL - 41 IS - 11 AU - Javier Maquirriain AU - Juan P Ghisi Y1 - 2007/11/01 UR - http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/41/11/812.abstract N2 - Objective: To investigate clinical and imaging differential diagnosis and tennis stroke biomechanics potentially involved in lunate stress injury pathogenesis.Methods: The present report describes five competitive tennis players with overuse-related dorsal wrist pain assessed by magnetic resonance imaging.Results: Magnetic resonance imaging revealed the presence of lunate stress injury. All players were treated conservatively, with symptom resolution and complete functional recovery achieved at 14 weeks.Conclusions: Lunate stress injuries should be considered in the differential diagnosis of overuse-related dorsal wrist pain in tennis players.
