What Is Wrist Arthroscopy?

Wrist arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that employs a small camera (arthroscope) to evaluate and treat numerous wrist conditions from within the joint.

How It Works:

Arthroscopic Visualization: A tiny camera is used to deliver a detailed view of wrist structures.

Minimal Incisions: Several small access points rather than large surgical openings.

Precise Treatment: Specialized tools enable focused repair work.

Treatment Options:

TFCC (Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex)
Repair or removal of damaged cartilage that stabilizes the wrist joint, resolving pain and clicking on the pinky side of your wrist.

Cartilage Injuries
Management of damaged wrist cartilage through cleaning, smoothing, or repair methods to restore fluid joint movement and decrease pain.
