Abstract
Robert Kienböck was the first to identify and describe Kienböck's disease. Considered one of the early fathers of radiology, he was a prolific researcher who made an immense contribution to the early development of radiology. In addition to groundbreaking work in therapeutic radiology Kienböck had a special interest in diseases of the bones and joints, especially those that involved the hand. Kienböck's contribution to medicine, particularly the diagnosis of hand disorders, continues to resonate today.
