	'''Preiser disease''' is a rare condition that affects the [[wrist]], specifically the [[scaphoid bone]]. It is characterized by avascular necrosis of the scaphoid bone, which can lead to pain, stiffness, and loss of function in the wrist. The exact cause of Preiser disease is unknown, but it is thought to be related to trauma or repetitive stress on the wrist.
