My husband has been dealing with pain in his right wrist for the past four months and was diagnosed with Kienbock's disease by an orthopedist. The doctor recommended surgery since he's in stage 2, and the MRI and X-ray show his lunate bone is damaged from poor blood supply.

My doctor said I need surgery for a non-union scaphoid fracture but quoted around 70-80k which is way beyond my budget. Are there any other treatment options or ways to reduce the cost? This seems really expensive for me to handle right now.

Scaphoid surgery is costly due to implant needs. Discuss subsidized options or government hospitals for affordable care if budget is limited.
