Arthroscopic surgery offers a new way to treat wrist arthritis by preserving key ligaments, potentially improving patient motion. This review covers techniques like proximal row carpectomy and synovectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Arthroscopy
  • Wrist Pathology

Background:

  • Wrist arthritis is a common condition.
  • Arthroscopic surgery is an evolving treatment modality.
  • Advances in arthroscopic techniques enhance treatment efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review arthroscopic surgical techniques for wrist arthritis.
  • To highlight the benefits of arthroscopy in preserving dorsal carpal ligaments.
  • To discuss specific procedures: proximal row carpectomy, radial styloidectomy, and synovectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current arthroscopic surgical techniques.
  • Focus on procedures for wrist arthritis.
  • Discussion of instrumentation and outcomes.
