Midcarpal joint arthroscopy is a valuable addition to wrist examination. This article details its indications, anatomy, and technique for improved wrist problem evaluation and treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Hand Surgery
  • Musculoskeletal Imaging

Background:

  • Wrist arthroscopy significantly aids in diagnosing and treating wrist conditions.
  • Traditionally, wrist arthroscopy focused on the proximal radiocarpal and ulnocarpal joints.
  • Midcarpal joint arthroscopy is increasingly recognized as essential for comprehensive wrist assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the indications for midcarpal joint arthroscopy.
  • To review the relevant anatomy for midcarpal joint access.
  • To outline a clear technique for performing midcarpal arthroscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies on wrist arthroscopy.
  • Anatomical dissection and visualization of the midcarpal joint.
