Arthroscopic Surgery for the Wrist
Joint
With precise and thorough surgical assessment,
wrist arthroscopy can be used for the following conditions:
-
Evaluation of patients with wrist pain
-
Diagnose and treat instability of the scapholunate and
lunotriquetral joints
-
Triangular fibrocartilage complex injuries
-
Degenerative lesions
-
Excision of dorsal ganglions
-
Distal radius fractures
-
Scaphoid fractures
-
Inflammatory Arthritis
-
Wrist arthroscopy serves as a diagnostic tool, as well as
a therapeutic option. Wrist arthroscopy permits the visualization
of the cartilage surfaces of most of the carpal bones, as
well as many of the extrinsic and intrinsic ligaments of
the wrist joint, including important components of the triangular
fibrocartilage complex. |
