    The lunate works with bones in your forearm to direct your wrist’s motion. People who suffer from Kienbock’s, which is most popular among young adult men, can experience pain and stiffness as a result of the disease. If not treated, the lunate bone can collapse in your wrist.

    What happens if a lunate fractures a wrist?
    In time, the mechanics of the wrist become affected, leading to abnormal stress and wear inside the wrist. There are four stages. Stage 1: The lunate loses its blood supply. The bone appears normal in an x-ray but may show changes on an MRI. There may be pain, swelling, and a risk of fracture. Stage 2: X-rays show that the bone is unusually dense.
