BACKGROUND Evolving wrist arthroscopy requires creating new portals, and creating portals reciprocally leads to increased indications for arthroscopic wrist procedures. To facilitate access to the lunate bone and fossa for new arthroscopic procedures, a new portal was used. This is a cadaveric study of this portal. OBJECTIVES In this cadaveric study, we evaluated a portal in wrist arthroscopy...
