Popis: | Wrist denervation is, by the way, one of the most performed and long-lasting surgical technique for wrist arthritis. Despite many progresses in upper extremity joint arthroplasty, wrist arthritis remains difficult to treat specially in young patients and heavy manual workers. The aim of this technical article is to describe a new outpatient's procedure in which applying pulsed radio frequency on nerve structure of the wrist could achieve similar clinical results of a wrist denervation without surgical incision. |
