Radial styloidectomy treats radio-scaphoidal impingement. Arthroscopic techniques now allow this procedure, relieving impingement while protecting soft tissues.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Wrist Arthroscopy
Hand Surgery

Background:

Radial styloidectomy historically treated wrist arthritis like SLAC and SNAC wrist.
The procedure saw declining use but is now revived by arthroscopic advancements.

Purpose of the Study:

To present the arthroscopic technique for radial styloidectomy.
To highlight its role in managing radio-scaphoidal impingement.

Main Methods:

Review of historical, anatomical, and biomechanical aspects of radial styloidectomy.
Detailed explanation of the arthroscopic surgical technique.

Main Results:

Arthroscopic styloidectomy effectively addresses radio-scaphoidal impingement.
