Radiographs of the left wrist show sclerosis and partial collapse of the lunate. The ulna is shorter than the radius indicating negative ulnar variance. The scaphoid is rotated ventrally. MRI of the left wrist shows a collapsed lunate with low signal intensity on T1 weighted images and variable intensity on T2 weighted images.

The disease is named for Dr. Robert Kienböck, a radiologist in Vienna, Austria who described 'osteomalacia' of the lunate in 1910.
