Arthroscopy of the wrist

Abstract

From 1970s, development in arthroscopic equipment and techniques has extended the ability of large joint arthroscopy to be performed in smaller joints. The wrist is a complex system of articulations and ligaments. That's why, wrist arthroscopy began to gain widespread acceptance on the world only in the last ten years. Although the knee arthroscopy is performed well on many patients, wrist arthroscopy is attempted in small numbers and at few centers, in the Turkey. It provides the surgeon with a magnified view of all intraarticular structures, including those areas difficult to access through an arthrotomy. Arthroscopic surgery is minimally invasive, hence patients rehabilitate quickly with fewer complications. Therefore, wrist arthroscopy provides important diagnostic information and therapeutic intervention, while avoiding the significant morbidity of open techniques as the same advantages are afforded in large joint procedures. In this chapter on wrist arthroscopy will discuss why, when, and how to employ arthroscopic techniques to the wrist.
