ANSWER: B angled
Kienboeck’s disease describes lunate collapse as a result of vascular insufficiency and avascular necrosis. Avascular necrosis of the navicular is Kohler’s disease whilst Freiberg’s disease describes avascular necrosis of the second metatarsal head. Sever’s disease relates to calcaneal apophysitis whilst Sinding-Larsen’s disease is a cause of anterior knee pain in adolescents.
