Wrist arthroscopy is a valuable diagnostic and therapeutic tool, particularly for carpal instability. While complications are rare, potential risks include nerve irritation and extensor tendon damage.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Musculoskeletal System Anatomy

Background:

  • Wrist arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique.
  • Understanding wrist anatomy is crucial for successful arthroscopic procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the technical requirements for performing wrist arthroscopy.
  • To highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of wrist arthroscopy.
  • To review potential complications associated with the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of anatomical considerations for wrist arthroscopy.
  • Review of indications including diagnosis, staging, and therapy.
  • Description of common approaches and anatomical landmarks.
  • Analysis of specific applications such as loose body removal and carpal instability management.

Published on: May 23, 2025

Main Results:

  • Wrist arthroscopy serves as a valuable diagnostic and staging tool.
  • Therapeutic applications include loose body removal, with less common use in fracture treatment or ganglion removal.
  • Carpal instability is a key indication where arthroscopy offers significant diagnostic and therapeutic potential.
  • Complications are infrequent, primarily involving nerve irritation or damage to cutaneous nerves and extensor tendons.

Conclusions:

  • Wrist arthroscopy is a versatile procedure with established diagnostic and therapeutic roles.
  • Careful attention to anatomical landmarks and technical requirements minimizes complication risks.
  • The technique is particularly beneficial for managing carpal instability, offering comprehensive solutions.
