Abstract
The use of arthroscopy to treat wrist arthritis is a relatively new approach to a common problem. Recent advances in arthroscopic surgery techniques and instrumentation have enabled the surgeon to improve the treatment of wrist pathology. Patients undergoing arthroscopic procedures potentially have better motion postoperatively because the dorsal carpal ligaments are preserved. This article reviews the techniques of arthroscopic proximal row carpectomy, radial styloidectomy, and wrist joint synovectomy.
