Current Indications and Outcomes of Arthroscopic Treatment for Radial-Sided Wrist Injuries

Abstract

Wrist arthroscopy has become an essential tool for treating intraarticular pathologies, with advancements in techniques and instruments expanding its indications over the past few decades. It is the benchmark for diagnosing intraarticular ligament pathologies, such as scapholunate ligament and triangular fibrocartilage complex injuries. In addition, it can be used an adjunct in the management of intraarticular fractures, particularly distal radius and scaphoid fractures. The objective of this article is to outline the role of arthroscopy in the management of common radial-sided wrist disorders and evaluate the surgical outcomes.
