Complications of Wrist and Hand Arthroscopy.

Abstract

Arthroscopy of the wrist continues to evolve and advance as a valuable clinical technique in hand surgery. This article aims to address safety of wrist arthroscopy and provide an overview of the known iatrogenic complications. Ultimately, the likelihood of associated injuries during wrist arthroscopy is dependent on the surgeon's ability and understanding of the equipment. Case volume and duration of experience directly correlate with mitigating iatrogenic injury and optimizing patient outcomes.
