Wrist arthroscopy without distraction. A technique to visualise instability of the wrist after a ligamentous tear.
We describe a technique for arthroscopy of the wrist which is carried out without traction and with the arm lying horizontally on the operating table. The wrist is not immobilised, which makes it possible to assess the extent of instability after a ligamentous tear. In a prospective study of 30 patients we compared this technique with conventional wrist arthroscopy, performing the new method fi...

A RTHROSCOPY AFFORDS SURGEONS the ability to evaluate and treat intra-articular pathology in a direct, minimally invasive manner. Wrist arthroscopy has transformed the way physicians approach wrist disorders. The equipment and principles used are based on the techniques of large joint arthroscopy.

متن کاملNew advances in wrist arthroscopy.
Wrist arthroscopy is a commonly used procedure that has undergone many modifications and improvements since it was first described. The advent of new portals (both dorsal and volar) means that the wrist joint can be viewed from virtually any perspective ("box concept"). Indications for wrist arthroscopy have continued to expand and include diagnostic and reparative procedures and, more recently...
متن کاملWrist MRI Arthrogram v Wrist Arthroscopy: What are we Finding?
The aim of the study was to compare the radiological findings of wrist arthrogram with wrist arthroscopy. This allowed us to establish the accuracy (sensitivity, specificity) of MRI arthrogram as a diagnostic tool. Thirty patients (20 female and 10 male) have undergone both wrist MRI arthrogram and wrist arthroscopy over the last 3 years at a District General Hospital. The mean age at arthrogra...
