| Popis: | Wrist arthroscopy is nowadays a commonly used procedure employed in the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic pathologies, such as triangular fibrocartilage injuries, distal radius fractures, malunions and scaphoid fractures, as well as degenerative conditions such as scapholunate advanced collapse, wrist, Kienbock’s disease and dorsal wrist ganglia cysts. Several procedures have recently been undertaken arthroscopically, such as radial styloidectomy, distal ulnar excision (“wafer procedure”), and proximal row carpectomy. Wrist arthroscopy has become the “gold standard” for the diagnosis of certain wrist injuries such as scapholunate instability. Compared to open techniques, arthroscopic procedures improve the postoperative management in terms of pain and early movement thus allowing an earlier return to work and resumption of daily living activities. |
