Summary
Wrist arthroscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing and treating wrist disorders. Further long-term studies are needed to fully establish its ultimate value in surgical practice.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Minimally Invasive Procedures
Context:
- Wrist arthroscopy has evolved as a significant surgical technique.
- Indications are expanding into diagnostic, evaluative, and therapeutic applications.
Purpose:
- To review the current applications and value of wrist arthroscopy.
- To present findings from a series of wrist arthroscopies.
Summary:
- The study included 41 wrist arthroscopies: 17 diagnostic, 4 staging, and 20 therapeutic.
- Procedures performed included triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) repair, debridement, synovectomy, and ganglion removal.
- Wrist arthroscopy aids in accurate diagnosis, tissue evaluation, and surgical treatment.
Impact:
- Wrist arthroscopy offers an attractive approach for diagnosing and treating various wrist pathologies.
- Effective application requires comprehensive knowledge of wrist anatomy, pathology, and clinical assessment.

01:09Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius
The radius is longer of the two bones that make up the human antebrachium or forearm. At the proximal end, the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna to form the elbow joint. At the distal end, the radius articulates with the ulna via the ulnar notch, forming the distal radioulnar joint. Distally, the radius also attaches to the carpal wrist bones (scaphoid and lunate) to form the radiocarpal joint.
The radius has a nail-shaped head, and a short...

01:10Ankle Joint
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...
01:12Arteries of the Upper Limbs
The subclavian artery transitions into the axillary artery as it exits the chest and enters the axillary region. This artery is critical for supplying blood to the shoulder area, including the head of the humerus, through the humeral circumflex arteries. As the vessel continues into the upper arm or brachium, it becomes the brachial artery. This artery plays a key role in vascularizing the brachial region and bifurcates at the elbow into several branches. These branches include the deep...
