Abstract
Arthroscopy of the distal radioulnar joint is a natural extension of radiocarpal arthroscopy and can be a useful tool for certain conditions that affect this small joint. Arthroscopy provides a minimally invasive means of evaluating the distal radioulnar joint and enables visualization of the articular surfaces, synovium, and undersurface of the triangular fibrocartilage. In this article, indications, surgical techniques, and potential pitfalls of this technically demanding procedure are presented.
