Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Wrist Anatomy and Biomechanics

Background:

  • Wrist arthroscopy has evolved significantly since its inception.
  • Advancements in portal techniques (dorsal and volar) enable comprehensive joint visualization.
  • The "box concept" allows for nearly panoramic views of the wrist.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the expanding indications and evolving techniques in wrist arthroscopy.
  • To highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic advantages of arthroscopy over traditional methods.
  • To emphasize wrist arthroscopy's role as an essential surgical tool.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and surgical techniques in wrist arthroscopy.
  • Comparison of arthroscopic assessment with conventional imaging (e.g., radiographs, fluoroscopy).

Published on: May 23, 2025

  • Discussion of arthroscopic management strategies for various wrist pathologies.

    • Main Results:

    • Arthroscopy provides superior assessment of articular damage in Kienböck's disease compared to radiographs.
    • It enables accurate diagnosis, classification, and treatment of triangular fibrocartilage complex injuries.
    • Arthroscopic evaluation of distal radius/scaphoid fractures and intercarpal ligament injuries surpasses fluoroscopy.
    • It aids in managing capsular contractures, ganglia, and ulna styloid impaction.

    Conclusions:

    • Wrist arthroscopy is a versatile and indispensable tool for orthopaedic surgeons.
    • Its indications continue to broaden, encompassing diagnostic, reparative, reconstructive, and bony procedures.
    • Complications are infrequent, underscoring its safety and efficacy.
